The Smoothest Trick in the (Cook) Book

I have to give all credit to my roommate Kim Gardner for introducing me to the newest addition to my diet - the incredibly delicious healthy smoothie.

I never thought I'd be one to enjoy a liquid meal (I really like to chew my food) but this is so yummy and surprisingly filling. And if I'm blogging about my food, then it either means it's a great recipe or my life has taken a seriously sad turn.

Put in blender:
  • 2 handfuls of spinach
  • 1 banana
  • 3 scoops of frozen fruit (I like strawberries, blueberries, and some sort of mixed fruit)
  • 2 spoonfuls of Cabot Greek Yogurt - Vanilla Flavor (KEY ingredient. Brand matters.)
  • a little bit of water (you don't need ice if you use frozen fruit)




Blend.

Enjoy.

And viola! The yogurt makes it taste like bubblegum - the kind you want to eat - and the spinach is so unrecognizable. You will be totally proud of yourself for sneaking spinach into your meal. Also try squeezing in some lime juice or orange juice for a little extra kick.

Tip: rinse your blender asap. If you let it sit, the ground spinach is really hard to clean.
p.s. that is my mother's Magic Bullet.
