Sure – any fruit will work! I don’t know much about Truvia, so I’m not sure how to advise.

Can you use any frozen fruit? 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?

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

Yes, you can use the frozen spinach, for sure!

Good to know you can do this without the milk/cream/yogurt/etc. that seems so common in these recipes.

I did almost this the other day! :O) I had a package of frozen peaches and some fresh strawberries and a half-pint of cream… 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!!!

We put spinach in all of our smoothies. I also add broccoli, carrots and spinach to my marinara sauce. Looks like spices and adds so much more:)

I am drinking a green smoothie right now! 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.

Another idea – Shoshanna Pearl of Bulk Herb Store uses 2T of orange juice concentrate (this is the frozen can you use to make orange juice) as the “sweetener” in her smoothies. I have found that this is plenty sweet for my family!

Also, I take kale or spinach and fill a blender with it and then add about half a blender full of water and then blend until smooth. You can freeze in ice cube trays for a really “cold” smoothie addition! Nice because I don’t always have fresh “greens” on hand.

Have a great day, Laura – My daughter and I love your blog!
