Fruit and Spinach (yes, spinach) Smoothie

So, Landon and I love our smoothies. We will have them probably 4 or 5 times a week! We love them especially because they are so versatile and you can put in whatever you want. We will buy fresh fruit and then I will slice some and put them in ziploc bags and freeze them and use them for smoothies.

 

                       

Ingredients:
2 Handfuls of Spinach
handful of strawberries
1 Banana
1 C whole wheat oatmeal
2 C Milk


Instructions:
I always put the spinach into the blender first, I think it's easier to blend that way. And then I throw in anything else and blend until smooth! Super easy, a good way to get your fruit intake, and so yummy!

*We have also used, pineapple, mango, peaches, oranges, blueberries, yogurt, etc. You can add anything you want really. And if we don't have fresh fruit, I will use canned fruit and it is just as good!
