Recipe: Green Smoothie


During my pregnancy, my main craving has been smoothies. I crave at least one smoothie a day, and have subsequently gotten pretty good at making them.  While I usually make a tropical combination using the papaya, mango, pineapple and orange juice, this is a refreshing recipe for a green smoothie that has gotten rave reviews from my family and friends!
Ingredients (makes 2 tall glass servings)
  • 1 cup (160 g) green grapes
  • 1/2 cup (78 g) pineapple chunks (I used frozen)
  • 2 cups (60 g) fresh baby spinach, packed  (I used the prewashed spinach in a bag) 
  • 1/2 ripe banana, peeled
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) water
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) ice cubes
Directions:  Place all ingredients into the blender container in the order listed and secure lid.  Blend for 1 minute or until desired consistency is reached. Serve immediately.
