Now this is one really green smoothie!
I had to go back for seconds today! Smoothies are really great when you wake up feeling like you drank a bottle of wine the night before.
In the Vita-mix:
- 1/2 giant banana
- ~1/4 cup raw oats
- ~3/4 cup milk
- ~1/4 cup greek yogurt
- 4 ice cubes
- 1 giant overflowing handful spinach
Sunken in the green:
- Ellwood Thompson granola
- Shredded wheats
- WF PB
Life’s a peach tea!
Question of the day: How many times will Kath listen to this song?
What a pretty spring green salad on a gray day! My green smoothie this morning was red from beets, but it was loaded with spinach, pineapple, and ginger too. I swear they give me coffee-like energy.
That smoothie looks almost seafoam green! And oh no that you’re not feeling well! Haha I know it’s not because you drank a bottle of wine, either! Hope you feel better!
I got about five hours of sleep last night, and that smoothie looks better to me than a cup of coffee right now!
The colour rocks! Haha have a great day 🙂
WOW, awesome color! I want some of THAT now 🙂
I say 15 times. Hahe
U had me thinking that was a mint-choc chip smoothie for a sec ;)!
Wow! That is a vibrant smoothie! It definitely looks like it would taste minty. Happy Thursday! 🙂
That’s exactly what I plan to eat after my run!
Ugh! That is such an old, old song. It’s almost before my time, but I didn’t like it then either. But hey, to each his own.
You haven’t watched LOST have you..
I should have had that for breakfast! I only had a glass of wine last night, but woke up feeling like I had a bottle! Strange how some days it’s easy to handle alcohol, then other days not so much! 🙂
LOVE the colour of that drink/bowl of green stuff..LOL I don’t know what to call it ! haha but I know that it looks good, and it’s got to be healthy !
My bet is 20x. 😉
Love your smoothie this morning – I really want to get some of that granola… maybe I should move to VA so I can have Ellwood products ALL the time!
green, green, and more green! LOVE!
What a beautiful shade of green…very spring like! Sounds yummy!
such a frothy minty green smoothie, love it!
Why did that make me want a Shamrock shake from McDonalds!? 🙂
Green smoothies were really my ONLY source of veggies during my first trimester– it’s nice that you can cram in so much spinach and not taste a thing!!
Whoa seriously pretty brekkie! Add some mint extract & chocolate chips, and I’d be one happy camper 🙂
26×26!
Haha!
it kinda looks like you pureed the hulk and drank him.
Yum! That is definitely one vibrant, green smoothie! I am planning on the same version for lunch, only adding in a handful of baby carrots and cinnamon to make a ‘carrot cake’ smoothie. Have a wonderful Thursday!
It looks more like mint chocolate chip ice cream! Are you sure you didn’t have that for breakfast? 🙂
I might have 😉
I listened to that song about 18 times last night! It made me want to go re-watch the entire series of LOST!
You’ll have to whip that one up again on St. Patty’s Day!
Anything that looks like ice cream for breakfast is good with me! 🙂 Love the color of this!
That reminds me of when I was a kid, and we would get a McDonald’s Shamrock Shake. I don’t like mint ice cream, but I did like those shakes. Since we are vegan, my 9 year daughter only knows what McDonald’s is by commercial, we have not been to a fast food restaurant since she was about two, I will have to make a vegan Shamrock Style Shake. Thanks for the inspiration!
and you didn’t even have the fun of drinking the wine. Of course, something even better will come of the hangover feelings.
Hi Kath!
I finally broke down and bought a (huge) bag of kale – which my bf likes to call kelp…
Would you ever put that in a smoothie? I tried kale chips and didn’t love them so I’m looking for other options before it goes bad, besides cooking it into a regular dish (i don’t have much time since its tax season for cooking) – so I thought for a quick smoothie in the morning but I wanted to get another opinion first.
Thanks!
Yeah, definitely, although you CAN taste it. I like it with a bit of cocoa powder the best!
mmmm – thanks! I’ll give it a try!
@shannon – I LOVE to put a couple of kale leaves in my smoothies. It’s so good for you that I try to sneak kale into a few dishes every week and smoothies are so easy. Lately, I’ve been doing ‘tropical’ smoothies with pineapple, mango, and coconut milk and the kale goes well in those, but I’ll also add it to berry banana and other smoothies. To me, it adds a green taste, but not an overpowering kale taste. It’s also easy to sneak kale into soups. Just chop it up really small and make sure it cooks for a while and you won’t even know it’s there!
thanks for the ideas! I might try a pasta dish with it also 🙂
That looks like a tummy mint-chocolate chip smoothie lol…looks great!!!
Wow, that is very green! It’d be perfect for St. Patrick’s Day 🙂
Suddenly I’m really in the mood for mint chip ice cream! or a shamrock shake!
It’s beginning to look a lot like St. Paddy’s Day already from this post 🙂
The new arrows are super helpful as I had two KERF posts to catch up on. Thanks for adding them.
So glad! Thanks for the feedback
Yah – just noticed those arrows – so much easy!
I mean easier – I’m tired – haha
That smoothie looks great!! And as I have officially overheated my apartment, I love the thought of something nice and cold!
Such a pretty shade of green your smoothie was this morning! I hope you have a wonderful day!
Looked like mint chocolate chip ice cream at first glance. 😉
love the beautiful green color to your smoothie – and peach tea seems like it would be a nice treat 😀
I thought it was melted ice cream!
So green I thought it was mint! I love spinach so I’ll have to give this one a try. BTW, love the new navigational arrows on the sides of the pages. 🙂
Great! Thanks for the feedback
that green is so very pretty! reminds me of st. patrick’s day 🙂 i have to imagine it’s no fun feeling like you drank a bottle of wine… when you actually didn’t! at least if you have a hangover, you want a fun night to show for it…
This morning I had a green smoothie as well, but unfortunately it didn’t make me feel better from the night before of drinking some beer. 🙁
It really touches me that you’re loving and listening to that song right now. Once when I was driving from Philly to Atlanta, it came on in a mix tape I had, and I played it through the whole state of Virginia. I’m not kidding. I love what it says and how it sounds!
When I first saw that I thought it was minty…now there’s an idea!
Gorgeous smoothie!! I can’t tell you how badly I want a Vitamix!! They’re just so ridiculously expensive, ugh!
I am loving your smoothies!! I love making them, but i hate making doing it in my Cuisinart blender. Someday the Vitamix will be mine! I am 25 weeks prego and I compared my whole first trimester to one big hang over. Its great to hear someone else say that too!! All the bad feeling, none of the fun from the night before. At about week 12 you’ll have a total body change and start to feel great again. That’s where I am now, but i know in the next few weeks big changes to come. Best of luck, congrats and keep eating every 2 hours!!
Your smoothie looks like a McDonald’s Shamrock shake!!
I was just going to say that too! I absolutely love the color. Plus, unlike the Shamrock Shake this is natural green!
Gorgeous green! Green smoothies are my favorite 🙂
Looks like pistachio!
LOVE how vibrant this is!
Looks like a St. Patrick’s Day smoothie! YUMMY!
You know what, it’s funny, I was talking to my cousin who is also pregnant and we commiserated how it’s still possible to wake up feeling hungover even when you’re pregnant and have gone months without a drink. Seems pretty unfair.
green smoothies are the reason I get out of bed!
That smoothie looks like a Shamrock shake…yum! 😉
That smoothie looks like mint chocolate chip icecream 🙂

We love spinach and blueberry smoothies at our house, even out picky toddler eats them. I think the blueberries make them a more appealing color 🙂 My pregnancy palate can’t handle the green!
