Swamp Juice

I went to a church thing last night that was about tips for health and wellness. The woman teaching the class, Jamie, brought some delicious cookies with cranberries and walnuts, YUM! And things to make 'green smoothies". The thing that makes it green is fresh spinach blended with fruit juice, frozen fruit, and a banana. Jamie used Mango juice and frozen mango with the spinach, and another with mango juice and assorted frozen berries. The ones she made were pretty tasty and I actually like the taste of spinach so I found a bag of frozen fresh spinach in my freezer and gave it a try.

This was my smoothie based on what I already had in the house:
12oz Pineapple Juice
One frozen banana, sliced
6oz Sugar-Free yogurt, Black Cherry
Half a bag fresh frozen spinach

The result was pretty darn tasty! AND the best part was Izaiah LOVED it! He told me he wanted me to make it again, but he wanted it a little sweeter. Izzy boy decided it should be called Swamp Juice, probably because we have been watching Shrek lately.
