God's Favorite Color Is Probably Green

I've done it! I made my first green smoothie! I am as excited as a child on their first field trip! Here are the things I've learned:
  • It's not as expensive as one may think.
  • My blender sucks. I was so ignorant when I bought it. Does anyone know of any reasons I should not use a juicer instead of a blender for green smoothies?
  • They taste just as yummy as the 4/5 dollar Odwalla or Naked ones do!
  • My husband loves them! Yay for healthy husbands!
  • A grapefruit spoon does a great job at getting a mango out of it's skin.
  • Though I do not like the taste of mango, I still liked the smoothie.
  • Though I do not like ice in anything I drink, the green smoothie is better cold.
In my green smoothie, I blended 4 huge leaves of Kale, 2 oranges and 1 mango. It was delic! I highly recommend giving it a try. These are some of the links that inspire and direct me in my green smoothie efforts.

Emily, they are so much better with baby spinach instead of yucky, bitter kale. Just my humble opinion:)
