1 stalk celery
1 banana
1 c. frozen strawberries

Blend it all until combined, pour and enjoy.

ooh, maybe I'll make that for breakfast tomorrow! I have all the ingredients and Joshua just asked for a shake yesterday. Or maybe I'll make it for dinner... and breakfast!

we just made some. yay! it was a big hit and now I don't have to worry about veggies for dinner :) I added blueberries so it wouldn't be green and didn't put the celery in b/c I didn't have any. I also forgot to pineapple in my popeyes haste.

I'm going to have to go buy some spinach. I have all the rest of the ingredients. That's one way to get all of your veggies in!

hmmm I like the pre-blend better than the green mix. I suppose if it went into a cup that you can't see through it would be good! We make smoothies nearly every day, maybe I could sneak in one with the spinich :)

Mmmm...I gotta try this! Thanks!

what a perfect name for them. Bear and I love trying new smoothie recipes so I'll have to gather up these ingredients and try it. The spinach/pineapple duo is intriguing to me.

Ahhh! I need to remember your recipe is here. If we made the cut we joined a CSA this year. There were only 50 slots and it was a first come first serve thing. I emailed the night the email was sent out but havent heard back yet. If we are in I will have to make some of this with extra stuff we get. :O)

OMG does it taste good?

Better you showed the pretty colors in the blender first as this healthy drink looks less exciting once blended. Bet the fruits make it tasty!
