Okay, so adding spinach to smoothies isn’t exactly ground-breaking, but I’m finally jumping on the bandwagon and this is my contribution to the wide array of green smoothie recipes out there.
I promise you that all you will taste in this smoothie is banana and peanut butter – no spinach whatsoever. If the color freaks you out, serve the smoothie in a non-translucent receptacle… but I happen to love the vibrant green hue. It’s a reminder of how amazingly healthy this dessert-like breakfast really is!
I think this will become a staple for me this summer =).
