green smoothie!

i've been reading a lot about the benefits of dark leafy greens and also green smoothies, so this morning when i discovered that ryno ate my last apple, i headed into the kitchen to experiment. "eat a banana," he told me, knowing full well that i have a love/hate relationship with bananas... the taste and smell doesn't bother me in the least, but the feeling of biting into a mushy, warm banana is enough to keep me away from them.
this smoothie is the first green smoothie i've ever made at home, and i must say that i'm pleasantly surprised! i was worried about masking the taste of the spinach, but the fruit definitely did it's thing. yum!



mango-spinach smoothie

ingredients:
2 ice cubes
5-7 cubes of frozen mango
1 banana
biiiiig handful of spinach
& enough soy milk to make it blend easily

blend & enjoy! this combo makes enough for one big glass of smoothie, as pictured.
