Starting small on the green smoothies. Yesterday I threw a handful of spinach into an otherwise fruit and yogurt smoothie. Color turned a little darker, but not totally unappetizing. Bill said he could taste the spinach. I couldn't, but could taste that it was less sweet than without it.
Today's smoothie was a bigger baby step towards green:
- handful of spinach
- one apple
- one banana
- half a handful of almonds
- 2 c. water
And here's what I learned:
- The "smoothie" preset on the BlendTec is not sufficient for apples and almonds
- ice is required
- less sweet is good
- I was not hungry
