Lime it up

I made a spinach smoothie last week that tasted... like spinach.  It scared me off of green smoothies.  But serendipitously the Vitamix guy was at Costco on Monday doing presentations, and he spoke with me at length about my recipes.

Lime!

The secret ingredient is a wedge of lime, with the peel on!

He made me a green sorbet (smoothie with more ice, basically), and it was amazing.

I tried it at home: two big handfuls of spinach, pineapple, banana, apple juice, and LIME... and you couldn't taste the spinach at all.

The kids loved it.

They probably won't eat a salad til they're 30, but full-on spinach smoothies are now in our future.

  1. I wonder what the Vitamix guy would say about kale. I've heard great things about it.....like spinach.

    So proud of you for feeding those boys of yours snacks they love and still healthy!!!!!

    Love to all,
    Mom
