I mentioned earlier in my peanut-butter-breakfast cookies that I started making a spinach shake that my whole family drinks. I compare it to Odwalla Super Food. It’s full of Spinach (which you can’t even taste), fruit and carrots. I started adding carrots because once they are juiced they are pretty sweet. If you are like me at all, Spinach as a drink sounds absolutely terrible, almost as if you are being punished. Shouldn’t spinach be solely for a crisp salad, you want me not only blend spinach but to mix it with fruit? The battle of the mind gets me most of the time when it comes to something that may disinterest my taste buds. Once I tried this I was actually beyond shocked not only how much I liked it but the fact that it was worth repeating on a daily basis.

Spinach Shake:

• 2 cups Spinach
• 2 large organic carrots
• ½ cup blueberries (I use frozen)
• 2 apples
• 1 orange (peeled but with skin on)
• 2 bananas
• 1 cup Coconut milk

Blend together all ingredients until smooth. I do not take the skin off of the apples nor do I take the skin off of the orange, the peel yes, but not the skin. The longer you blend, the smoother the texture. You may also use a food processor.

Sometimes I add orange juice with the coconut milk. I use coconut milk for a lot of things due to my husband being lactose intolerant. The vanilla coconut milk adds more flavor as well. I also switch the fruit around. I’ve used pineapple, mango and peach.  You can honestly use any veggies or fruit you want. I store this in the fridge in a large mason jar. We drink this every morning with breakfast and my husband drinks 8oz before he works out to give him an energy boost. Even my little blueberry enjoys this and will devour it; if he could have it all day long he would.
