Sweet Smoothie with Six Hidden Veggies & Greens

Sweet Smoothie w:6 Hidden Veggies & GreensIn my never-ending quest to integrate more greens and veggies in our lifestyle (not diet, since those usually aren’t permanent), I am always on the quest to find different smoothie combinations that are delicious and mostly importantly, nutritious.

My dad was going out of town, and we were blessed with a bunch of fruits and veggies.  We had to use the grapes and bananas right away.  I love that this smoothie is only sweetened with the fruit and doesn’t (in my opinion) need any extra sweetening to hide the veggies.
