Okay, I am a slooow learner at times! I just had to share with you guys another one of my discoveries. I know this is an OLD discovery for most of you, but...
I have been reading so many posts lately about green smoothies. I normally juice carrots, but have been so lazy about this lately. When I do juice, however, I will often include spinach in my juicing.
TONIGHT, however, I decided to make a smoothie... I took two bananas, one nectarine, about a cup or so of water and about one big handful of baby romaine... I blended this all together and it was GROSS! :rolleyes: I then added some raw honey, a small chunk of vanilla bean and a dash of cinnamon. Blended it some more and then chunked in a whole bunch of ice.
OH BOY, OH BOY, OH BOY... This was sooo good. I even added more romaine and it was sooo yummy so I added some more. (I have not been getting enough greens lately, so I am glad this was good!).
The big test though... I took it in to my dh and told him to close his eyes and taste it. (did not want him to EWWW at the color). He tasted it and liked it!!! THEN.... my ds came in the room and I did the same thing.... He LOVED it!!!! WOOO HOOOO
Now the bad part :rolleyes: .... My ds took half of my smoothie!!!!! :p
Yeah... now I get to make healthy smoothies and my dh and ds will drink them!!!
Just had to share!
