I have yet to meet someone who doesn't like this green smoothie! It doesn't taste green at all! It tastes much like a Creamsicle! Give it a try your kids will love it! And if they ask why it is green just tell them it's a Shrek or Swamp Smoothie or something! ;)
Creamsicle Green Smoothie
1 cup water
1 cup Rice or Almond milk
2-3 LARGE spoonfuls of Orange juice concentrate
1 Large bunch of Spinach
1 teaspoon vanilla
Frozen Peaches (about 2 cups)
Place all ingredients in blender. Blend until nice and smooth!
Sounds yummy, I can't wait to get my kids reaction. I have all the ingredients just bought a huge bag of frozen peaches at Costco.

I made this today. We didn't have orange juice concentrate so I put a large fresh orange in it instead and a little agave. It still turned out pretty good- Dan loved it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog! I am so into green smoothies of the last few weeks. I have a very similar combination and we love it!
ReplyDeleteOh Tam....sounds yum. Usually, I try to hide the green color for the kids...but why not go with it. Green Popsicles were always one of my faves.
ReplyDeleteThere's something about it being green...but o.k. I'll give it a try sometime...clever combo !
ReplyDeletePretty good! Thanks for the recipe!
ReplyDeleteI'm getting over a cold and this is the perfect thing for me right now...especially since my tummy has been very picky regarding food!
Can't wait to try it. Thanks for the recipe!
ReplyDeleteCreamsicles were my absolute favorite when I was a kid!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is one recipe I don't have but you can bet I'm going to make a big batch tonite, cuddle up, and take a walk down memory lane!!
Thanks!

Thanks so much for the recipe. I just tried it and my 3 year old toddler loves it too! MMMgood!
ReplyDeleteInteresting recipe. I prefer to make my green smoothies with just fruit, green and water as Victoria Boutenko recommends. I drink a green smoothie for lunch, it is helping me with weight and bad food cravings.
ReplyDeleteDo you put spinach in there raw or cook it first? Sorry if that sounds like a dumb question, but I don't really use spinach much so I need a little guidance. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteLisa: It is fresh Spinach. Raw not cooked. Not a dumb question a very good one in fact we are all learning asking questions is a good way to learn. ;) It's important to have the Spinach raw becuase cooking it destroys the enzymes and a lot of the nutrients. If I have a bunch in my fridge though and it is going to go bad before I can use it all I will put it in the freezer. Still works great for green smoothies frozen like that.
