Surprisingly good...

I always feel like I am trying to find better snack options for Kaden. He absolutely will not touch any leafy green vegetable, which is hard because I know how important they are. Well the other day a friend of mine suggested to try a spinach shake. I thought yuck!!! Well I had a lot of spinach in my fridge that was going to go bad so I gave it a whirl and to my surprise Kaden love love loved it he kept asking for more and I didn't think it was half bad either. If you make this though you need a heavy duty bib or old shirt if you are feeding it to a toddler.

1 cup frozen berries
1 frozen banana
fill the blender with spinach (I used about 2-3 cups)
And a little whole milk (my friend said you have to use whole milk or it isn't good.) I just used enough to get it to blend well.

Yum yum, seriously try it you will be surprised and it is a tricky way to get your toddlers to eat their greens. I didn't take a picture but it comes out a pretty purple color!!!

I am so going to make this! Spinach is so good for you... but not so yummy (in my opinion)... unless it has dressing... which isn't too great;-)

i do this a lot for me:) i add all sorts of frozen fruits, some milk (i use skim and it tastes good), and flavored yogurt, and of course spinach... i just kinda experiment with it and it usually turns out great!
