I know some of you all may be viewing the whole green smoothie craze as just that... a fad that will just fade away as soon as we roll into February.
And for some (maybe many), that will be the case.
But I have actually found that I am loving green smoothies! I have one just about every day for a healthy afternoon snack.
Okay, so some of you may not have heard of a green smoothie before. Basically it a fruit smoothie with a handful or two of fresh leafy greens blended in. Often times, it will give the smoothie a green tint (thus the name ;) ), but you really can't taste the greens at all. People use a variety of greens in their green smoothies- from kale to swiss chard. I personally prefer spinach- it is a softer leaf and more mild in taste so it usually just completely disappears into my smoothies.
(Pssssttt... moms! This a genius way to get your kiddos to eat more veggies and fruits without them even knowing it. It even works with green veggie-phobic husbands. Shhhhh... ;) )
