Green smoothie
We grow plenty of greens in the spring (kale, collards, spinach, and herbs) so mix it up and try some combinations of flavors. I found this beginner’s recipe at: simplegreensmoothies.com. Not a fan of bananas? Swap it for ¼ avocado or add another ½ cup of mango.

Ingredients
Directions
Step 1
Tightly pack the spinach in a measuring cup and add to a blender with the water.
Step 2
Blend until smooth (should look like green water).
Step 3
Add pineapple, mango and banana. You can use frozen fruit to chill the smoothie and save on cutting and prepping.
Step 4
Blend together until smooth and creamy. This could take 30 seconds or 2 minutes, depending on your blender.
Step 5
Pour into a glass and serve immediately or store in the refrigerator with a lid until ready to drink.
