My boys requested a smoothie or breakfast, but we were due for a trip to the produce store. I decided to try making our Favorite Green Smoothie and just skip the grapes.
I tweaked the recipe a teeny bit and I’m happy with this result. All three of the boys enjoyed this and I barely managed to get a sip for myself.

I have never combined spinach with banana. Must try it soon.

Wow, I've never tried spinach in a smoothie, but it sounds great and very healthy, too!

I saw a recipe similar to this the other day, and it got me intrigued. Your smoothie has great color and texture, and I know it it won't be long till I'll be making this at home!

I'm a bit unsure about banana with spinach but I should give it a go – once our bananas come down to a more realistic price. They are currently at $11 a kilo here. It's ridiculous and I'm starting to dream of bananas in my sleep!
BarefootBride says
Hi Mary – yep, $11 a kilo. The supermarkets 'blamed' the big cyclone we had earlier this year (Yasi) for the rise – yet the prices skyrocketed THE DAY AFTER the cyclone struck. The silly thing is, bananas aren't just grown in North Queensland where I live and funnily enough, the growers are recording a profit this year. Thanks for stopping by my post.

That reminds me, I can pig out on bananas when we go the the States for Christmas this year! 69c a pound is so cheap compared to what we are paying for here.

I am liking all of your spinach smoothies. My 7 year old is a huge spinach fan – I wonder what she would think of it in her smoothie? She would probably love it:-)
