[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We just started making them to get some veggies into DD. So long as there's enough fruit, it tastes sweet, not bitter green.

baby spinach
green grapes
pineapple (frozen or canned in juice)
very ripe banana (either from the fruit bowl or one we have previously frozen)
unsweetened coconut milk

I have some frozen mango to add to the next batch. I have hesitated to add blue or red fruits as I don't want it to turn muddy brown.

DH didn't blend the last batch for long enough, so it is rather pulpy and DD really has to choke it down.

I just ordered a NutriBullet (Bloomies is having a sale right now), as that is supposed to do a better job of pureeing everything into a nice smooth drink without losing any of the fiber. If it is as good as it claims, I'll add flax seeds and/or almonds.

The NutriBullet manual has a lot of recipes that you could use for ideas. Their basic formula is 1 part greens, 1 part fruit, a sprinkle of super foods (almonds, flax, chia, etc) and water to cover.[/quote]
13:39 here...got the nutribullet for christmas -- it has changed my lilfe. Ironically, it is my kid (9 yrs old) who is the veggie lover. I am not so much, so this is how I get in my greens everyday...it is sooooo easy....fill, blend, rinse, repeat!![/quote]
