My favorite summer snack....

Green smoothies! Sometimes last year we purchased a Vita-mix machine. It was a Costco roadshow and we were sold. What sold me was knowing that we don't get enough fruits daily and how making smoothies made that so easy. Plus, you could add some veggies and no one would even taste it. That was very appealing! As I have grown to eat cleaner I am finding that I love to make a smoothie most days. This is so exciting for me to realize that I can get my greens in during this very delicious snack. Spinach, Kale and Collard greens are not things I would be pining to eat...at least not daily. I like romaine and have that daily but not enough servings. The way this works is you use 60% fruit and 40% veggies and I like to add ice instead of water so that it is very cold. My favorites ones have been strawberries, banana's, apples and spinach. I know places like Costco sell lots of frozen fruits too. I had a bag in my freezer however it had added sugar to it so it wasn't something I could use. I am going to check their other varieties and hopefully find some that are pure fruit. As far as I am concerned this is my new favorite rediscovered summer snack! Try it you might be suprised and don't let you kids see you make it and they will never know the amazing things they are drinking. You can also make popsiclse and slushies out of it too.
