I add a bunch of frozen fruit into my smoothie maker (blenders work well too). If I am making a small batch, sometimes I do it in my Magic Bullet.
Then I add a good handful or two of spinach.
I add in some yogurt and some juice or lemonade to help it blend more smoothly.
And then I blend it up! If you add enough berries it hides the green spinach really well. Sometimes our smoothies are purple!
My kids all love them…and I do too!
We do the same thing, and it works wonders! But one extra tip is to throw the spinach in the freezer once it starts to wilt. That way I can buy the bulk bag of baby leaves to eat in salad, sandwiches, and smoothies, but can still use the frozen leaves in smoothies or casseroles before the next time I go shopping.
