Okay, I realize your concern. You’re wondering, “Who are you and what have you done with Melody?” And the truth is, you have every right to these questions. After all, I can’t recall ever posting a healthy recipe on here. Not intentionally. Typically, I post food that I like, or that is super-duper yummy, and I haven’t taken too much into account towards what may or may not be healthy.
Well, I’ve decided that probably needs to change a bit. Now, don’t worry – I’ll still bake fabulous things and when they turn out divine, I will be sure to make sure and let you know – and induce drooling and all of that good stuff.
But, today is not one of those days to drool over baked goods.
Today, I would like you to salivate over spinach. Fresh spinach, frozen strawberries, banana, vanilla yogurt – all blended together into a smoothie. A few moments ago my mouth was treated to this very combination – and it was like a party for my tastebuds.
Now, I’ll grant you, it does not look like a milk shake. (I put mine in my pretty Thirty-One tervis cup to help it look lovely.) It is frothy, but it is brownish, pinkish, green. However. It. Is. Fabulous. (notice: the cup in the picture is almost empty, proof of deliciousness, for sure!) I realize that I may be late to the smoothie party. But, I don’t care! This is a wonderful treat: de-lish at any time of day! If you haven’t tried one before, you need to try this. soon.
C’mon! Its good for you!
Banana Berry Spinach Smoothie

YUM!
Now, go try something a little healthy! You’ll be glad you did!

2 nanners=2 cups of spinach. yeah golly!
I do something similar as well: spinach, banana, almond milk, cottage cheese, and a scoop of chocolate protein powder. I call it the green monster!!! Delicious, though.
