You won’t believe it until you try it, but you truly canNOT taste the greens in these fruity smoothies! Even your kids will suck these down obliviously!

ingredients

Coconut Mango Smoothie

Half a bag of fresh baby spinach
1 cup frozen mango chunks
1/2 can of coconut milk (shaken first)
A splash of water to get the blender started.

Strawberry Banana Smoothie

Half a bag of fresh baby spinach
1 cup frozen strawberries
1/2 banana
1/4 cup unsweetened cranberry juice (thinned with water, because unsweetened cranberry is too strong)

Raspberries and Cream Smoothie

Half a bag of fresh baby spinach
1 cup frozen raspberries
1 cup plain Greek yogurt*
1 tablespoon honey, or to taste
Enough milk to get the blender started

Peaches and Cream Smoothie

Half a bag of fresh baby spinach
1 cup unsweetened frozen sliced peaches
1/4 cup skim milk
1/4 cup orange juice
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt*
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

Blueberry Yogurt Smoothie

Half a bag of fresh baby spinach
1 cup fresh blueberries
1 cup plain Greek yogurt*
A small handful of ice
1 tablespoon honey, or to taste
Enough milk to get the blender started

directions

Combine all ingredients in blender and blend until smooth.

notes

*Greek yogurt is much creamier than regular yogurt and will add more consistency to your smoothie. Another option: Try dark chocolate frozen yogurt with any of these recipes for a rich chocolate shake - you STILL won't be able to taste the spinach!
