Last night I froze a banana and sliced strawberries to put into the blender this morning. Great addition.
Day five’s mix included:
- 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 1 cup sliced frozen strawberries
- 1 frozen banana
- 4 or 5 handfuls spinach
- 1 scoop vanilla whey protein
Day five of 7-day green smoothie challenge: Check.

You’re so diligent about documenting your smoothies!! I’ve been drinking mine but failing to snap photos –> fail! Have you tried freezing your spinach? That’s what I do and I love it!

No I haven’t!! Do you just freeze it in the bag? That’s not a bad idea at all 🙂

You can either freeze it in the bag or buy frozen spinach in blocks (thaw it a little and chop it into 4-6 cubes then refreeze). I just grab a cube of it and toss it in the mix. Just make sure your blender is powerful enough to chop through it.

1 – I am excited about smoothies right now but I don’t like protein powder but I did get the Kefir and I seem to like that.
2 – I’m going to try the frozen spinach idea! That sounds awesome!

I’m interested to try this – I love smoothies and eat a lot of them, but I’ve never been adventurous enough to put spinach in them! Can you taste it?
March 30, 2012 at 11:52 am
Nope!! Not at all, especially if you put fruit in. I mean if you put 10 cups of spinach in you’d probably taste it but I just throw in a few handfuls…can’t taste it at all 🙂

Sweet – I will give it a try!

Sounds like a delicious mix!

I hear ya with preseason workouts! Literally, the actual season was when it was “easiest”! I mean, summer leading up to pre-season, pre-season itself, and spring season…were some of the hardest workouts I’ve ever done!
