My kids loved it! I told them it was monster guts so that added to the appeal. I haven’t been able to get two of them to drink green smoothies in the past (although they’ve had spinach in their smoothies plenty of times an didn’t know it) so this was a small victory. Thanks!
You can substitute coconut water instead of OJ and use protein powder to kick it up at knotch. Also add some flaxseed for added nutrition. Great breakfast alternative!
This was a healthy way to start off our Halloween with servings of fruits AND vegetables! My kids loved that I called it a Monster smoothie and drank it all up.
Thanks for the great recipe!
