Go Green: Juicy Spinach Smoothies

By

Michele L. Tune

Spinach in a glass? Am I crazy? Nope. If you’ve been looking for ways to “go green”, definitely give a juicy spinach smoothie a try. It’s quite good actually. Go ahead, try it. You know you want to!

So, what’s in a green spinach smoothie? For starters, bananas. I also added strawberries, herbal tea, a few ice cubes. Yes, instead of using milk (I only drink rice or almond milk anyway), I use herbal tea for my liquid. And, we can’t forget the spinach leaves. This fruit and veggie smoothie is delish!

You’ll want to invest in a quality blender so you can enjoy green smoothies often.

I never follow any specific recipe. Creativity is awesome when making raw fruit and veggie juices or smoothies. Someone who’s daring and health conscious might throw in a whole handful of spinach whereas another, less daring individual would prefer only a few leaves. Just experiment and have fun with it. It’s your smoothie…

Here are the ingredients:

• strawberries
• bananas
• herbal tea
• spinach leaves
• ice cubes

For even more health benefits, you can sprinkle in some raw, unsweetened coconut and/or organic ground flax seed. Then you’ll have a drink that’s not only loaded with antioxidants and nutrients, but also fiber–and we all need that!

Here’s to life, health, and healing with (raw) juices!
