My Green Smoothies

The newest addiction in this house are green smoothies. I make them when I am running low on energy because it is the fastest way to get fruits and veggies into my system. I USED to make them one at a time and made enough for two, but it was hard because sometimes it would make enough for three or four. Then, along came my wonderful and smart older sister. You could say she is practically perfect in every way. She blogged, here, about how she makes green smoothies and puts the extra in a muffin pan. Then she freezes them and uses one each time she wants a smoothie and adds a cup of coconut water. I also enjoy adding a little more fruit, say a banana or a Honey Crisp Apple.


When I made the recipe last, I made a few changes due to foods I had on hand. I am going to post the recipe that I used but remember that green smoothies are what you make them to be. *smile*
