smoothie power

we've tried the juicing thing.

it was getting a little old.

not to mention, we didn't love the taste.

we gulped it down and chased it quickly with a wheat thin or two.

although i didn't love the taste of throwing a random combo of veggies together,

i loved the nutrients i knew my body was getting.

and i also liked the ease of it.

we thought we'd give smoothies a shot.

i absolutely love smoothies.

the ones we've tried lately haven't been too shabby.

they're not jamba juice or anything, 

but when you're blending spinach i don't think you can expect it to taste like a jamba juice.

we've tried a few different combinations lately, just thought i'd share a few with you.

i make each one the same, throw all the ingredients together in our ninja and mix away.

i haven't actually measured when i've made them, so all the "recipes" below are just estimates.

let me know if you have a favorite smoothie recipe, i'd love to try it out!
