We adore salad in my house. It’s one of our favorite things to eat. But getting Zoe and Ashley to eat dark greens, like spinach, chard or kale, is another story. Since Ashley is a big fan of onions, she loves my Onion and Kale Soup. Zoe, however, doesn’t like onions at all. So I decided to try another approach to dark greens: Green Smoothies. I’ll admit, Zoe drank half as much of hers as Ashley and I did, but at least she liked it 🙂
Pretty Green Smoothies

1 banana, frozen in pieces

I’m fine eating greens on their own (or cooked), but this looks like a fun way to get everyone to try =D.

So cute! I’ve become a huge fan of green smoothies. We made smoothies at our last meeting for everyone to sample. One member made smoothies from just bananas, spinach, and water. She wanted a very basic light smoothie for newbies. Everyone was amazed they were so delicious. 🙂 Just one banana can make smoothies so much lighter and more appealing. I haven’t had a green smoothie I don’t like yet though. 😉 And, like you said, just a great way to get in your greens. My regular smoothie (recipe courtesy of Ali and Tom) is lemon juice, ginger, apples, pears, kale, spinach, cabbage, and water.

This looks really good! I used it as my inspiration for my first green smoothie. See it here: http://foodintolerancescook.blogspot.com/2009/10/peanut-butter-banana-green-smoothie.html
