Perfect Green Smoothie


                     Yes, I realize that I'm on a bit of a smoothie kick. I just can't help myself.
                 I love packing in as many nutrients I can early in the morning. I like starting my
                 day on the right track. If I eat some not so good things for me during the day I
                 can feel good about my morning breakfast! Great way of thinking, right? Ha.
                          I have tried many green smoothies and this one is my favorite.

                                                          Perfect Green Smoothie

                                                         1 1/2 cups green grapes
                                                         1 banana
                                                         2 cups spinach
                                                         1 cup pineapple
                                                         1/2 cup ice cubes
                                                         1/2 cup water

                      1) Place all ingredients in blender and blend until desired consistency.

    Grapes - interesting! One of my kids has an oral food intolerance to most raw fruits and many veggies, but grapes are one thing he can eat. Never thought to put them into a smoothie (which is weird, because I put everything else in them.) Thanks for sharing….this one sounds delicious!

    This looks and sounds healthy and delicious! I've seen a lot of green smoothie recipes, but none that include grapes... will have to give this one a go! :)

    Yep going to try it. Sounds delicious! My middle guy makes a smoothie every morning for breakfast ~he adds protein powder to his as well ~ but he loves them too!

    So funny, I was just saying to someone that we have been trying to be good during January - juicing and making smoothies and drinking our morning grapefruit juice and I said, "Now who would want to hear about that?!!" Here you are making it look wonderful!

    I don't blame you! Smoothies are so easy to make and definitely a great meal supplement. I haven't tried many green smoothies, but keep hearing more and more all about it, so I'm glad you found a green smoothie that you like....cause I will definitely try it out!

    I'm always looking for variations of green smoothies! I've never had one with green grapes, so I will have to try this!

    I love smoothies but I haven't been able to get on board with the "green" ones. I think it's mental. I'll have to try it.

    sounds great! i love green smoothies since they don't taste all that 'green' once you put fruit in them.
