We had a health and fitness Relief Society activity in January where we learned how to make a drink with spinach, orange juice, frozen blueberries, frozen banana, and a mango. You can add up to 2 cups lightly packed spinach and your kids will drink it and not taste it. Promise. If you have a husband named Scott, he will not touch it, even if you assure him you can't taste the spinach.
I thought this was really quite childish of him to not even taste it.
I have been making it frequently over the last month adding ground flax different fruits etc. The other night I made the original version which is the best. The blueberry and orange juice completely mask the spinach. Scott asked if it had anything extra in it (code for spinach or avocado) I flat out lied and said, "no." I am not a good lier. I wanted to know if he would be able to detect the foreign spinach matter. He drank the whole thing, thinking it was a smoothie, and still does not know any different. He rarely reads my blog so this will be my secret for awhile, until he starts noticing Popeye muscles.

Scott! I can't believe him. I'm glad you tricked him. I have wanted to make that smoothie so bad for over a year. I was so excited to bring my blender back to Chiner...we still haven't bought an adapter powerful enough to use it yet, though.
That is hilarious! What a chicken.
My kids suck down spinach shakes too, love it.
Ha HA, that is too funny :)
You can also put in beets, carrots, apples zucchini, but spinach is the best trick. We have to watch out for Larry, cause he tries anything...which is not always successful.
I make a spinach smoothie almost everyday for my kids. The other day I ran out of spinach and put in mixed veggies instead, not a good combination by the way (yuck). The kids drank it anyway but Leah asked why the smoothie was pink (it had raspberries in it). She is very used to her green smoothies now.
I drink a spinach-and-whatever-else-I-have-in-the-fridge smoothie almost everyday and love it! Yours were SUPER good Shannon. Tell Scotty to stop being such a wuss and drink it anyway. What would Grandma Esther think of him? :)
It must be really good if he didnt detect. Maybe I could do the same to Tanner???
Ha ha ha ha! Good for you. I am still giggling over it!
Mama can't believe him either! He must have had WAY too much healthy (weird?) food growing up! Sorry!!!
