Green Smoothie that Kids will Love

 

1 medium seedless navel Orange, peeled and separated into quarters

1 c, Cubed Pineapple, fresh or frozen and thawed

1 packed C. Baby Spinach

1/2 frozen ripe Banana, cut into thick slices

1 T. Honey

10 small Ice Cubes

 

Put all the ingredients into a blender. Blend until creamy, with no obvious pieces of spinach remaining. Pour into 2 or 3 glasses

boost it: Add 4 ounces of silken tofu and 1/2 tsp. of vanilla extract to the blender to increase the protein and healthful isoflavones.

adapt it: To minimize the texture, instead of peeling the orange, use a serrated knife to sheer off the entire peel and pith, revealing a bright orange globe of exposed flesh.
