Spinach Smoothies

So when we were in Utah, Ashley introduced me to Spinach smoothies. I'd heard of people doing them but never tried them till this weekend, & I have to say, they're good! When I got back home I put my own little twists to it & this is what I came up with.

I use mostly Orange juice (maybe 3/4 cup) & a little bit of milk (1/4cup)


Four frozen strawberries


& I also throw in a clump or two of this mango, peach & pineapple mix to add more flavors


 and then I do a big handful of spinach! ***Ashley also taught me a trick to keep my spinach to last longer, wrap it in paper towels. It helps soak up moisture so the spinach doesn't get all smushed! 


Now, these pictures are only after one or two seconds in the blender, so it still looks pretty.... once you have it all the way blended it kind of has a nasty {vomit} look to it, but you just have to get past it! 

I really don't even taste the spinach at all, cause honestly I don't really even like spinach, but this taste really good, I love the texture & it's good for you & it keeps me full. 

So thanks Ashley for my new health food kick! Love it!
