Green Smoothie - 5th Edition

I've posted about our Green Smoothies about a million times on this blog. Alright not a million, more like four time (here, here, here, and here) so why not post one more time. We've been drinking them more or less every weekday morning for three years and over the years we've altered the recipe slightly to experiment with taste and nutrition. Ever since being on maternity leave my husband has been in charge of making the smoothies in the morning so I decided to make his life a bit easier by putting together two weeks worth of Smoothie baggies in the freezer. The baggies include premeasured fruit, oats, flax seeds, and chia seeds. Here is our Green Smoothie recipe that we've been making for close to a year. Keep in mind that it makes two large smoothies. Enjoy!


Yield: 2 large smoothies
Ingredients
2 cups 1% milk
1/2 frozen banana
1 cup frozen fruit - your choice!
1/2 cup fat free Greek yogurt
1 tablespoons rolled oats
1 tablespoon ground flax seeds
1 teaspoon ground chia seeds
 2 huge handfuls of spinach
