Don’t you just love smoothies? This new recipe is absolutely delicious even if it is green. It doesn’t taste green, it tastes tropical and naturally sweet. Who knew blended spinach could be so fantastic?
Have you tried Kefir the drinkable yogurt? Kefir is a fermented milk product full of healthy probiotics. I love the coconut chia flavor, and the blueberry, and all of them actually. I drink Kefir each and every morning and miss it terribly if I don’t! Let’s be honest, everybody is happier if their digestion is working its best. Kefir has 12 healthy probiotic cultures, it stimulates digestion, enhances the immune system, and it tastes great!
Fresh frozen mango, frozen bananas, and ripe Kiwi round out the ingredients.
Topped with a few extra chia seeds, this is a totally satisfying healthy snack, breakfast or dessert!

I still have one more post to finish featuring our Iceland Adventure. I hope we haven’t bored you too much with our enormous pile of pictures. Thanks for hanging in there with us as we get back in the kitchen, work in the garden and get ready for our daughter’s wedding in about 6 weeks! It’s been a very busy year. I think I need more smoothies!
Thanks so much for stopping by!

May 9, 2013 at 2:20 amOK Tricia, now a wedding? You are busy girl! This smoothie looks great but I need to know if you taste the spinach. Don't want to get to healthy too fast!

May 8, 2013 at 1:24 pmLove this flavor combination, Tricia! Mango does an awesome job of thickening smoothies and the flavor can't be beat. I haven't tried kefir yet. My brother's family has been making water kefir and milk kefir for the past few years, but I still haven't given it a shot. Maybe I'll just pick some up to taste first!
