Faster than a cup of Coffee -- The Elixir of Life

Spinach / Banana Green Smoothie

OK, it was just this quick.  Take spinach out of fridge.  This time I had the kind you pick up at Sam's, Costco, even Walmart.  Get the organic kind.  Throw into blender.  Put in frozen bananas (makes it really sweet); water (I use distilled) -- just pour from bottle or however you get water.  (Avoid tap if at all possible).  Blend in your blender (high speed if possible, and actually there are no cores or stems to break up, so any blender will do).  Drink immediately.  This one tastes really good.  Nice and creamy; sweet.  As we give up processed sugar, we taste the sweetness of the spinach too.  

Do you need to acquire a taste for it?  If you haven't gotten hooked on coffee yet, you'll have to acquire a taste for it too, especially if you leave the white girls out (sugar and cream).

Turn up for calcium, iron, vitamin A, vitamin C and magnesium, Vitamin B6, and potassium.

TURN UP

"What is it? " asked Ife.  "It's sooooo good for you," I, Mom replied. OK, the beginning of the green smoothie occurred two days ago:  spinach, banana, water, psyllium and flax seed.  That was pretty good.  Today, I added more water and frozen raspberries.  I realized that we hold ourselves to some pretty rigid standards sometimes with the goal of:  everything we eat or drink has to taste so delicious.  I'm leaving that one behind.  "It doesn't taste bad," I said. I then said, think  of it as medicine if necessary and TURN UP.  She said mom, you are too funny.  She did as instructed and finished it all.
