Christmas in a glass

Officially dubbed the "Christmas Smoothie", this one is a keeper for sure!  And yes, it's green!  It was a big hit here today...in fact, we ended up making it twice.  Once for lunch, and again for dinner.  A simple recipe that came from Bree and Jenna's Sportball coach and one that has now made it onto the favourites list!
















Incase you want to bring a little "kid friendly" holiday bevvie to your table, here's the nitty gritty of the recipe:

1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup raw spinach, finely chopped (puree with the milk before adding the other items)
8-10 frozen green grapes, halved
6 "limeade" ice cubes
1/2 cup vanilla yogurt

Blend it all together and enjoy!















Super simple and super good!  This recipe could very easily be adapted with other fruits both fresh and frozen.  And yes, I did tell the kids that there was spinach in their drink....I just made sure that they liked it first!
