I LOVE green smoothies! I use fresh spinach, kale, rainbow chard – whatever I have on hand. I’ll throw in any frozen fruit, coconut milk, and a bit of protein powder – so delicious and it keeps me full from breakfast to lunch! When bananas are starting to over-ripen i’ll slice them, throw them on a cookie sheet and put it in the freezer for a few hours. Once they are frozen, put them in a ziplock bag, back in the freezer, ready to use for a delicious and nutritious smoothie!
Great idea Jen! Thanks.
