Yes, blueberries are a fabulous addition. I like a bag of mixed berries, too!

I make these all the time, but I like to add blueberries also as it hides the green & makes it a beautiful purple color!

I’ve never thought to add cottage cheese! Great idea for the next time I have some getting past its prime…

This is awesome! We make these too. I use a whole orange instead of the juice. I also add cottage cheese/plain yogurt/greek yogurt for some added protein. I drink them nearly every day for breakfast! I’ve also substituted kale or collared greens for the spinach for different vitamins. I find that the orange and the greens completely cancel each other out, which is awesome!

DELICIOUS and worked well for my picky preschoolers. We just gave this a try and the boys both loved it. Thanks so much for the recipe!

We have been doing green smoothies for over a year now. I like mine with 1 frozen banana, 1 c oj, 1 carrot,1/4 tomato, 1 tbsp of flax, 1 c frozen cranberries, pack as much kale as the liquid will grind up. I like the kale better, the flavor is masked a little better by the fruit than the spinach. I can always taste the spinach and it is a turn off. Sometimes i will throw a shot of honey in the smoothie just to sweeten it a little….we love em in our house! You get a real energy boost after drinking a glass of this stuff!

One more thing…I made a “green smoothie” this morning with frozen blueberries. If you’re looking to camo the green, the blueberries will do it! I expect blackberries would also cover the green color. If the kiddos don’t see the spinach go in, they’ll NEVER KNOW!!!

i am going to have to try adding greens to smoothies. so glad you steered me away from putting them in yogurt smoothies, i would have tried that first. loved the commentary from 3yo!

I’ve had green smoothies for breakfast the past two mornings! I agree about the OJ…I think it really masks the spinach. I’ve added frozen pears and frozen mango to mine as well. YUMMY!!
