A Great Way to Start the Day

Most mornings I start my day with a bright green fruit drink. I know, to the majority it doesn't look very appetizing. My mom introduced green drinks to our family several years ago. We blend these drinks with a Vita Mix. . . a must have for every kitchen. I use this appliance at least once a day sometimes twice. It is easy to use, has amazing power, and super slick clean up.  In this particular drink I put in the blender, in this order. . .

1 C. water
1 ripe banana
1 ripe pear
big bunch of spinach
frozen fruit (Spectrum blend from costco is my favorite right now)

Blend it all up and enjoy. Fast and easy.  A fantastic and delicious way to get those greens into your kids bodies.

I love those. Lizzie calls them my "green shakes" as opposed to the purple one that her Dad eats (choc. protein powder and strawberries). I haven't been able to get her to really take to them yet, but I keep trying. Thanks for the new combo idea!

Oh these are a fav in our house too... gotta love the Vita Mix. Thanks to my mom a few years ago who surprised me with one- can't live without it.
