Yesterday I read a friend's facebook update describing how much her daughter loves spinach smoothies. In my mind I pictured a dark green slurry that only an unsuspecting toddler would ever drink.
But I decided to try it anyway.
I filled the cup (does anyone else find the magic bullet cups super convenient?) half full of fresh spinach, then added yogurt, fresh strawberries, milk, and a few frozen blueberries. And it was good! I tumbled that smoothie on my tongue, searching for the spinach taste, but I couldn't find it. All I could taste was yummy fruity goodness. I let Isabella have a taste -- and she didn't give it back until it was almost gone.
I'm converted!
