Delicious and Nutritious Green Smoothie


Bryson and I have never had luck with blenders. Don't ask me why...but every blender we have bought since we have been married has been a dud. Our first one just didn't work at all, never even turned on. The 2nd one we bought wouldn't blend anything. The third one started smoking the first time we used it. Finally, we thought "let's splurge a little, spend a little extra money, and do it right this time." So, we bought a $40 blender haha, which for us...is a splurge. :) We've been making smoothies and salsa and great drinks because we FINALLY have a blender that works! So, for your enjoyment here is one AWESOME, amazing, DELICIOUS recipe that we hope you ENJOY as much as we do!

P.S. Don't be scared of the spinach...you can't even taste it! :)

Delicious Green Smoothie
White grape juice concentrate (completely thawed)
1 big chunk of pineapple (remove the rind)
1 half of a lime with the peel
1 chunk of orange w/out the zest (but with the white part still on)
1 banana (broken into pieces)
fresh spinach
ice
**optional: a couple baby carrots, a chunk of cabbage, pineapple juice concentrate

Pour just enough grape juice concentrate to cover the blades of your blender. Put the pineapple, lime and banana into the blender. Fill with spinach to the top of the blender and then cover with ice. Blend until smooth. Add more ice depending on how thick you want it.

Ahhh...delicious! :) AND nutritious!


With Love,
