Tasty Tuesday Treat #22


I know that it is not quite an umbrella laced cocktail, but the smoothie that I recently created will definitely have you feeling great for "beach bum" season :)

My creative "juices"started flowing after I realized that I had about 1 cup of left over spinach leaves sitting in my refrigerator.  Although apprehensive about making my morning routine "green," I knew through my nutrition studies that spinach was an easy way to introduce a new color into smoothies.  So with my 1 cup of spinach came my "Spanana-berry" smoothie.  Here is what I added to my NutriBullet to make this delightful drink:

1 cup of spinach
1 frozen banana (cut into pieces)
1/3 cup of frozen blueberries
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1/2 cup unsweetened quinoa milk (or other dairy free alternative)

A Spanana-berry Smoothie would be a nutritious nosh to add to your recipe box, as would this "cold weather proof" smoothie blended by my incredibly talented cousin!
