A Little Bit of Everything Smoothie

Green smoothies are the best!  They take potent, green veggies and combine them with fruit to make them more tasty.  My toddler loves them...and that is saying a lot!  I usually make enough to fill a large cup and I find that he usually sucks down 3/4 of the smoothie before I even go to take a sip!  These smoothies are a great way at disguising the vegetables.  You really can't hardly taste them!  I try to use these smoothies on days where it seems that I haven't gotten a whole lot of veggies into my diet.  Give them a try!  Below is one recipe that I typically use to "clean out my frig".

Ingredients:

1/2 cup non-dairy milk

1/2 cup red grapes

1 orange, peeled and halved (I used 2 clementines for this)

2 baby carrots

1/2 peach (I used frozen)

1 cup strawberries (I used frozen)

1/2 cup broccoli

1/2 cup spinach

1/2 cup pineapple (I used frozen)

1 cup ice cubes (probably not needed if you use frozen fruits)

Directions:

Blend all ingredients on high until smooth.  If too thick, add extra milk to thin.
