GREEN smoothie...

or maybe brown??? lol 

I just made my first green smoothie (though because of the strawberries it turned out to be more brown than green). Cameron walked in the kitchen as I was adding the spinach and said EW GROSS! when I was finished I let him taste mine... and he wouldn't give it back!! lol yum! Here's the recipe:

1 cup carrot
2 cups spinach
2 apples, peeled and chopped
1 cup orange juice
2 bananas
2 cups strawberries (I use frozen)

I start by adding the liquid first, then the carrots, bananas and apples. After a quick blend I toss in the spinach and last the strawberries.
My blender has a bit of a hard time with this much volume so it takes a bit. I hope to invest in a vitamix someday. :)
