I was scared to try this at first because adding spinach to a smoothie sounded disgusting. Well, you cannot taste the spinach at all and it's a great way to get some good vegetables in first thing in the morning!

This was really good, you cannot taste the spinach. I made it almond milk. I will be making this often. - 1/28/13

Yum! I used half coconut water (for electrolytes) and half kefir (for good bacteria and other things) instead of soymilk or milk. Very nice! - 11/29/11

I simply love spinach in my smoothies, I normally would add plain yogurt instead of the banana and a nut or two. - 11/29/11
