Shrek Juice

Posted by Picasa
One of my favorite things are green smoothies. This one makes us laugh, because it's so green! That's why we call it Shrek Juice!

We drink these a lot, but especially when we're having a bad dinner. This smoothie has fresh pineapple, frozen mangos and peaches, plain yogurt, rice milk and orange juice. Then you add fresh spinach. You really, really can't taste the spinach. This smoothie tastes like the old Orange Julius orange shakes. Or the orange push up pops from the ice cream man. Man, I loved those!

Or other favorite smoothie is the strawberry and banana smoothie. Still has plain yogurt and rice milk, frozen strawberries and a banana. I put honey in it too. Then the spinach. You can use romaine lettuce or anything green and leafy. This smoothie is mostly pink, but a little green.

The other one we do is the berry mix. I love the blueberry/raspberry/blackberry frozen mix bag from Costco. It's organic and pretty cheap. This smoothie most disguises the spinach. It's just a purple one!

Even though it's cold outside, we still drink these up. Hopefully they'll help keep us well through the winter!!!!! They're good too. Trust me!

Yum! We drink these too, but I never thought to call them Shrek juice! I just call them green monster smoothies so the kids will giggle.
