Smoothies are a great invention

I am gonna take my grandchildren for some smoothies later in the day

What a coincidence, I discovered just few days ago that I can add spinach to my smoothies and it does not really add any peculiar taste, so I now have made it a habit to add spinach to my smoothies. This morning, my smoothie include avacado, banana, cucumber, and lots of spinach. IT tastes so good!

aint they great? slap an avocado'n the mix 'n such'll be more akin to a creamy smoothie, one that somehow leaves ya full fer longer. plus ya get the good fat 'n all the other benefits'f such. i put spinach'n my concoctions most oft. yer correct, ya don't taste the spinach :) i made a kiwi-spinach one once...tasted great, but the color was less'n desirable

I enjoy spinach and all fruits and veggies. I prefer to eat mine, rather than drink them, because I am very oral. I'm happy it's helping you and your hubby.

Looks like the smoothie is delish and healthy ;)

I agree, smoothies can make us "cheat" husbands or kids to eat veggies they do not like though it is very nutritious. Yes, thanks to smoothies, they consume it all!

I enjoy smoothies as well. I don't make them nearly enough. Your post has influenced me to break out the blender and make them more often.

It's a nice way to take veggies without going through its taste sometimes that is bland . I suppose this can also be called a shake ?

I think smoothies were invented for people who don't want to chew! You know what I mean? Some people are on the go, don't have time to slow down, don't want to choke eating food too fast, or don't have the appetite. Drinking something to get your vitamins is easier! Smoothies are great! Watched a news show this morning and there was this Olympian in training being interviewed. Her morning “cup of coffee” is a smoothie! Sharing a link from my foodie blog.

Smoothies are good because they condense more foods enabling more vitamins and minerals to be absorbed into the body (plus they taste great).

I am a big fan of smoothies too, they are a great use for soft fruits that are starting to look a bit mushy, just blend them all up and people who would turn up their noses otherwise just yum them up! If I have a glut of fruits like strawberries for example I just pop them all in the blender then pour the puree into ice-cube bags and freeze, then I use the fruit cubes for easy smoothies throughout the year.

That sounds a lovely smoothie. Are you put off by the colour? I presume it's a greenie colour.

I've had smoothies when out, but I've never made one at home. I need to try it sometime.

I never tried the spinach thing. The smoothies I used to make so kids would have the fruits, thankfully husband likes fruits and vegetables.

My daughter added spinach and strawberries to pancakes.

That sounds like an interesting combination. I've never been tempted as prefer to eat my veggies whole.

Oh! I need to try this spinach thing. We will be going back to drink more of smoothie, strawberry is back at the grocery stalls.

We all enjoy fruits and veggies here-but, a smoothie is a great thing. We like to start the days with fruit 'pulverized' into a smoothie and then, off we go!

That sounds really yummy.

I never added spinach (or any veggies for that matter) to my smoothies. Usually I stick with fruit but I just might have to try spinach if you say you don't taste it
