You could also call them Oobleck smoothies – if you like Dr. Seuss :D

My son LOVES green smoothies. We use spinch or chard from the garden. I never let him see me put the greens in because he would never drink it!
He calls them his Grinch smoothies. :)

I make a green smoothie almost everyday. I use frozen strawberries, blueberries, banana, celery, mango, broccoli, spinach, squeeze some lemon juice out of a lemon, dump some yogurt in and add some apple or orange juice. It’s fantastic. I can’t get kale around here, otherwise I’d use that too! Pineapple is just starting to come in season, so I’m looking forward to putting some fresh pineapple in it too.

Be carefull with raw egg. Don’t know if it is true but I hear if you wash them before you crack them it reduces the chances of getting sice. Eliminating the chance of and unseen feaces being on the eggs.

My kids LOVED this drink! Even my 2 year old- who is a very picky eater :) we put 1 banana, one peeled cut up golden delicious apple, 1/2 c vanilla organic yogurt, 1/2 c 2% milk, and a HUGE handful of spinach leaves- you oculd not even taste the spinach. GREAT idea :)

My 3 year old and myself start our days off everyday with a green smoothie:

1/2c Kale
1/2c spinich
1/2c Dandelion greens
1 pear
1 banana
1/2c yogurt
2tbsp whey powder
1c liquid – either coconut water, milk or water
1tsp agave nectar or 1tbsp honey

We usually each get about 10-12 ounces of it and often I add in chia seeds or flax seeds.

Pears tend to really cut the bitterness of the greens.

Here’s a smoothie recipe that my kids and I just love.

2 cups milk
1 ripe avocado
2 Tbsp. honey or agave nectar
A little bit of ice

I sometimes add in 1 Tbsp of wheat germ or flax.

Blend until smooth.

I tried your Ultimate Smoothie and loved it! I’m just curious….why do you put whey protein powder in it? I bought some and used it, but I was just wondering.

Thanks!
