I also used 1/2 tsp. of premium raw Demerara cane sugar. Along with a cup of water and a few ice cubes. Yummy!! I will definitely be using this when the grandkids come to visit (10 grandkids). Great way to get fresh fruits and fresh veggies in their growing bodies. Thanks, Nickie I just tried your recipe using fresh bananas and strawberries along with a cup of fresh spincach.

I have tons of frozen strawberries, bananas, blueberries and raspberries but no peaches :( Also, I don't have any Stevia drops yet. Could I use some Truvia packets? If so, how many? Just to taste?

I like trying to add more healthy stuff where ever possible. Instead of water in our smoothies, I use decaf green tea to add more antioxidants.

YUMMY! After I made it and was drinking this heavenliness, I was wishing that I would have had some spinach on hand to have thrown in!!! How funny that our "recipes" were almost identical. I *would have* put the spinach in had I had it. The only real difference was that I used cream in place of water. I don't know if your Stevia is plain or not, but I used a berry flavored one in mine. Try this recipe with cream (or I suppose you could use milk, but, oh, cream - YUM! ;) and I'm certain you will love it even more than you already do!!!

One way to help get the spinach to mix clear in is to add your liquid and spinach and blend until it is smooth. Then add your frozen ingredients. We love these and my children know there is spinach, herbs, flax etc. They think that is what it takes to make them so good ( : Sometimes we add a spoonful of orange juice concentrate to sweeten them. We think that it has to have a banana! That really helps hide the spinach flavor. Also, frozen spinach does change the texture of the smoothie but it does work.
