Some afternoons, I get a hankerin' for something sweet. Who am I kidding? That happens every afternoon. So, lately instead of making cookies, I've been making smoothies.
A banana, frozen cherries, blueberries, and strawberries, a splash of 100% apple juice, and a handful of spinach. I love it. And the kids do, too.
(I don't think they know about the spinach.)

What a great idea--the spinach! I'm going to have to try that. I love that pic of Maggie licking her lips. Too cute.
Before I got pregnant and was actually trying to lose weight, I would make a protein shake every morning and it was green from spinach. Everyone that has seen me drink them is so grossed out that it is green, even Hailey! I can't believe you got them to drink it! I think they are delicious!!
If you want a real green smoothie, I know a place that sells greenbeans and milk blended together. SO.GOOD! YUM!
I love afternoon smoothies--my secret--a frozen banana. It makes it more smooth rather than slushie.
Moms can be so sneaky.
what i love is that she is in her swimsuit again! hahaha! awesome!
I used to feed the kids this kind of thing for actual dinner sometimes. I just hope it didn't lean them toward heavy bodies later, because fruit and fruit juice are WAY high in sugar. I used yogurt, too. Spinach is good, but the iron is kelated in, so you can't count on that. But this is better than cookies, huh? And tastes great.
cute shirts on the boys
