What a Wonderful World: Got Spinach?

Got Spinach?

I like to eat spinach salads, but I was tired of them so I needed a change. Thanks to google I got some new ideas and came across a Spinach Banana Smoothie. For dinner tonight I made myself this smoothie and I surprisingly loved it! Even Kaitlyn jugged down a glass or 2.

4 cups spinach, raw
6 oz vanilla yogurt
1 banana
water/milk

Directions:

1. Place 4 cups of spinach in blender. (I used about 2 1/2 since that's all that I had left in the bag)
2. Pour yogurt on top of spinach
3. Slice the banana and put that into blender
4. Blend for about 1-2 minutes. If it seems a little thick add some water or milk.
5. Enjoy!

I would add ice either by blending in it or just throw some in there after you're done to making it. It tastes much better if it's cold.

"We know not all that lies ahead of us. We live in a world of uncertainty. For some, there will be great accomplishment. For others, disappointment. For some, much of rejoicing and gladness, good health and gracious living. For others, perhaps sickness and a measure of sorrow. We do not know. But one thing we do know. Like a Polar Star in the heavens, regardless of what future holds, there stands the Redeemer of the world, the Son of God, certain and sure as the anchor of our immortal lives. He is the rock of our salvation, our strength, our comfort, the very focus of our faith. In sunshine and in shadow we look to Him, and He is there to assure and smile upon us."
-President Hinckley

"Do not allow yourself to be made to feel inadequate or frustrated because you cannot do everything others seem to be accomplishing. Rather, each should access her own situation, her own energy and her own talents, and then choose the best way to mold her family together and supports each other. Only you and your Father in Heaven know your needs, strengths and desires. Around this knowledge your personal course must be charted and your choices make."
