We make a green smoothie almost every day. I have to admit that my green smoothies usually turn out blue/purple because I love blueberries. Even hubby is hooked. Enjoy!!

Edited to add my favorite smoothie.
I have to admit that after I tried this mixture I'm having trouble trying anything else.

1 cup frozen blueberries
2 cups spinach
1-1.5 frozen bananas
1 cup coconut milk
1 carrot
1 cucumber (peeled)
ice if needed (especially if fruit isn't frozen)
Optional: I add protein powder and flax seed

YUM!

I've also added celery, but it seems to overpower.
