I can have my green and eat it too (without grimacing!!)

So, I've tried one of the green smoothies that seem to be taking health food world by storm... and it wasn't bad. But despite the sweet pear-ey, grape-ey flavor of my smoothie, I just couldn't get over the GREEN color... Drinking something the shade of Shrek just isn't appealing.  

However, this morning, I figured out how to sneak some healthy green spinach into my Strawberry Frozen Yogurt Milkshake, and get a result in a pleasing, yummy-looking shade of MAUVE :)

I'll share my very simple little recipe for healthy, non-gross smoothies with you, should you wish to try it.  

Secretly Healthy Strawberry Milkshake

1/2 cup skim or lowfat milk

3-4 big scoops of strawberry nonfat frozen yogurt

1 1/2 cups frozen green smoothie

Combine everything and blend the heck out of it!

FYI: I used some frozen leftovers of my Pear Medley Smoothie in this, and it did nothing to hurt the strawberry flavor- if anything, it just added some extra sweetness.  :) But I'm pretty sure that any green smoothie that's not too crazy will work well.
