Spinach Smoothie

So, I have received quite a few requests lately for the yummy spinach smoothie recipes. So here you go for those of you wanting to eat a little more healthy this year.

Spinach Protein Smoothie

6 oz. water
1 scoop whey protein powder (EAS Vanilla Whey is best, purple container)
1/2 to 1 whole banana
2 T. peanut or almond butter
6 - 8 ice cubes
1 to 2 handfuls of raw spinach

Blend in blender until totally pureed. Enjoy your yummy healthy breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Fruity Spinach Smoothie

orange juice
banana
frozen strawberries
frozen pineapple
yogurt ( I use the Yoplait light or maybe greek for extra protein)
raw spinach

I just add as much of each of these as I need to for what I feel like, or depending on how many people are going to enjoy the smoothie goodness. I don't add ice because I usually use enough of the frozen fruit to make it good. Then blend till thoroughly pureed and ENJOY!!
