Usually I put LOTS of spinach in the blender, followed by frozen blueberries and any other fruit I happen to have frozen. I add about a spoonful of orange juice concentrate and a half can of coconut milk (which is why we buy about three dozen when we happen upon a Trader Joes), and then water. Clara loves them. And repeatedly asks for "moonies".
This week I ran out of blueberries. So I made a spinach, pineapple, mango medley. It was heavenly. And ridiculously green. Blueberries must tame the greenness ;).
Yum. Delicious.

Oh my goodness...what a GREAT idea! My boys hate (understatement) veggies and I always feel awful that they don't eat it. I'll need to try these.
I love how green they are! I'll have to try your concoction with real spinach - I usually use a green magna powder that has lots of good green stuff for you in it.
Our kids love green smoothies too. We've been trying other liquids with the spinach: I usually do spinach, a can of dole pineapple chunks, OJ (or apple juice), blueberries if I have 'em, and an apple cut up. Obviously you already know mangos & bananas taste great in there too! But, if you don't have cocounut milk... apple juice works great with the juice from the can of the pineapple chunks. ;) Love you & can't wait to see you guys today!!
our family calls them "frog smoothies". they are super picky and that is how i got them to try it one day while they were watching princess and the frog. they wanted to drink it and become a frog! anyway, we love them and just had one this afternoon. the coconut milk sounds very yummy! I am going to go to trader joes asap and get some.
oh and thanks for the comment about welles' hair. it took a good 2 years to get to that point! you are almost there!
