Green smoothie

Cynthia V.

I just tried the first recipe in the  "FResh in Ten" cookbook I downloaded today.  It's a green smoothie wiht spinach, lemons, apple, spinach and bananas. I used frozen bananas whihc made it cold and slushy,.  I found that I needed more water than the recipe called for.   That could be due to the fact that I have a Kitchen Aid blender and not the VItamix.  I blended it for a good amount of time but there are still small bits of spinach leaves which kind of detracts from my enjoyment of it.  Flavor is excellent.  Very refreshing.  I'm thinking though that a Vitamix might be just the thing I need.

I love that smoothie! The Vitamix does make a world of difference. Do you have a food processor? Putting the spinach through that first might help.
