More Please!

What happens when you take a 2.5 hour nap during the day? You can't sleep even though it is over 2.5 hours past your bedtime!!! So I thought I would update the blog.

After saving for almost four years, I finally got a Blendtec. It is a blender and so much more. We make green smoothies everyday- and LOVE them! What goes in our favorite green smoothie recipe? 2 C coconut milk, 4 C spinach, 1 C collards, 1 carrot, 1 T flax oil, 1/2 C yogurt, 2 bananas, 1 apple, 1 C frozen strawberries, and 1 C frozen pineapple, mango, and peach mixture.

It is an easy way to get the kids to get more vegetables and I always hear "More Please!"

Yum! We love green smoothies but have never tried coconut milk or yogurt in them! Love the new blender, hopefully one day I will get one :) Have you tried making soups or anything else in it?
