Two words, Green Smoothies. I know that green smoothies aren't new. People, including myself, have known about them for a while. But until I decided yesterday to try one I found on Pinterest (I am quite the avid pinner lately), I had no idea what deliciousness would greet my taste buds. The first one I tried was like a little taste of heaven. You can find the recipe to it below.

Thanks Iowa Girl Eats!
You can pretty much try as many combinations as you want! It's like Sonic..except with fruit and spinach. I tried one this morning with this combination:
1 Orange peeled and segmented
6 Large Strawberries
1/2 a Banana cut into chunks
2 cups of Spinach
1/3 a cup of Chobani 0% Vanilla Yogurt
1 cup of Ice
I thought it had a bit of a twang from the oranges, so if you aren't a big orange person I would only put about half an orange or substitute a different fruit for it, but overall I quite enjoyed it!
I was also looking around for information about greet smoothies and stumbled upon this girls Q&A about them and she had some really good information!
