That smoothie looks divine! Why am I so nervous to try green smoothies? I love my vegetables 🙂
DON’T be nervous at all!! And if you are, just try making a half batch!

so wait. un peel and freeze? does that mean i just pop the banana in the freezer or does it mean i peel it and pop the banana in the freezer.
But i bought 6 bananas today – normally i would’ve only bought 4 (just enough for the week!) and a bag of spinach! YAY!
thanks for taking a picture of your blender– I say this because I have been avoiding the GM due to a lack of a juicer.. for some reason I assumed that was the only way to get spinach to blend up properly. I am so pumped for this as breakfast tomorrow!
Yum. I have been wanting to A. find good ways to to get my veggies and fruits B. use my new wedding shower gifts ( hooray for the blender!).
I tried this today and it was delicious. I used vanilla soy milk and I think that added a little extra sweetness that made it delicious. Keep up the great blog Iowa Girl.

Ok lovey… I am going to try one of these infamous monsters tomorrow for b*fast… hope it lives up to its reputation!! 🙂
