Chocolate Banana Smoothie with undetectable greens!

2009.09.27

I got a Magic Bullet for my birthday not too long ago and I’ve been making smoothies like a mad woman. Mmmm mmmm good! The fruit ones are always delicious but I was hoping for something different and sneaking in some greens! I’ve heard so much about green smoothies lately I decided to try putting some spinach in because I had read in so many places that you couldn’t even taste it. I was skeptical but then I made this and boy is it delicious! Yes, it does look a little weird but you really and truly can’t taste the spinach. Here goes:

1 banana
3/4 cup of vanilla almond milk
1 Tbl of unsweetened cocoa
Big handful of spinach
Ice

Blend for about a minute and enjoy!

While I was drinking my first Chocolate Banana Smoothie my 7 year old daughter came up to me and wanted a sip. I gave her some and she said “YUM! Chocoalate banana shake! Can you make me one?” I said sure and she slurped it right down. She never even knew she just got an awesome serving of spinach! I’m going to get some other greens and keep experimenting! Give this one a try!
