In 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.
The Conclusion:
I really am amazed at how much you can consume veggies and not taste them. We have had so much fun figuring out what we can do with whole foods. Love it!!

Oh yum! My kind of smoothie—using what tasty fruits and veggies you have on hand. I still find it amazing that those greens stay so well hidden. (Visiting from Raw Foods Thursdays)
