1 cup milk
1 large handful of fresh spinach leaves (about 3oz.)
1 tablespoon sugar or xylitol (optional)*
1 small banana (optional)**
6-8 frozen strawberries
Whipped cream, for serving (optional)
Instructions:
1. Whirl milk, spinach, and sweetener in blender on high until foamy and green.
2. Add banana if using; whirl until smooth.
3. Turn blender on high and add frozen strawberries, one at a time, until smoothie reaches desired thickness.
4. Pour smoothies into glasses. For a luxurious treat, add a dollop of whipped cream and stir before serving!
Additional Notes:
*We use xylitol
in place of the sugar. We also sometimes use stevia. When substituting stevia for sugar use less stevia, of course!
**I think a banana makes it creamier and yummier, but some people prefers it without a banana.
