I got an immersion blender as a present, which says that it does smoothies, but I have yet to try. <br /><br />My favorite smoothie is: vanilla Silk-light, strawberries, and pineapple. I confess that green smoothies have scared me. I like all of the things that go into them, but somehow I can't get excited about *drinking* spinach.<br /><br />I hope that smoothies will do the trick for you, Heather! Keep us posted. Glad to see that you are blogging again! :) Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16778892741400094989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26075987.post-60141077320835699872013-06-03T06:00:49.482-07:002013-06-03T06:00:49.482-07:00Kate my blender looks like it could chop up bricks...Kate my blender looks like it could chop up bricks but it smells hot the second I add anything that needs chopping.

A handful of spinach would kill it. Declan loves them and begs me for them. I just do milk, Yoplait plain yogurt(which Declan thinks tastes like ice cream) and whatever frozen fruit I have on hand plus some honey or lime juice.

I have what I thought was a nice Oster blender...but it just doesn't blend well. I have to stop it repeatedly to stir everything so it will blend. I will have to do a little research - - thank you for the suggestions!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05439718281949127886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26075987.post-63828420228642595062013-06-02T10:44:54.412-07:002013-06-02T10:44:54.412-07:00Hey Heather,

The big thing for me was investing in a high powered blender (Vitamixer or Blendtech)- made a huge difference in the consistency and grinding up all the spinach/veggies. Not cheap, but I make one everyday and You can use it like a food processer so I feel like I get my money's worth. I have a Blendtech and love it! My favorite smoothie is Almond milk, choco protein powder, Spinach, frozen banana and if I have cucumber or carrots I sometimes throw those in too! Dr. Oz has a few good recipes for green smoothies too.kirstenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17979268026463191604noreply@blogger.com
