Recipe For Greens In A Glass

This light, refreshing smoothie packs in nearly 3 cups of produce, including a generous amount of nutrient-rich spinach. Most commercial juice drinks are primarily carbs, but I add creamy Greek yogurt to mine for a hefty dose of protein. Substitute ½ cup

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup(s) spinach, baby, (1 big handful) 
• 1/2 cup(s) cucumber(s), chunks, peel on 
• 1 stalk(s) celery, cut into chunks 
• 1/2 medium banana(s), fresh or frozen, cut into chunks 
• 1/2 cup(s) pineapple chunks, fresh or frozen 
• 6 ounce(s) yogurt, fat-free, Greek-style, plain 
• 3 whole ice cubes, 3-5 cubes (optional) 

PREPARATION
1. Add the spinach, cucumber, celery, and 1/2 cup water to the blender. Blend on high until completely smooth and liquid.
 2. Add the banana, pineapple, yogurt, and ice cubes (if using) to the blender. Blend until smooth and frothy. Serving size = 2 cups
