So I've been attempting to get a little healthier by doing a workout a few days a week and also by making healthy fruit smoothies for either breakfast or a snack. :) I am not a big vegetable eater, so when I tried a fruit smoothie with spinach once, and found out how delicious it was, I was thrilled to be able to get a serving of veggies in my diet in a new, and yummy way! So I have tried many different variations of smoothies lately, by just throwing things in the blender and seeing how it turns out... But today I came up with one that I think may be my favorite so far, so I thought I'd share it with you! And if you think spinach is gross, or the thought of putting it in a smoothie is even more gross, trust me and just try it. :) You can't even taste the spinach at ALL (although there's enough in it to turn your smoothie green in color!) So take it from a non-vegetable-loving individual: it's good, and you need to at least try it once. Hope you enjoy this smoothie as much as I do...
