Quick and Easy Green Smoothie

Greek yogurt, banana, pineapple, spinach, and a healthy Quick and Easy Green Smoothie starting in January

Do you ever have difficulty eating the recommended daily servings of fruits and vegetables each day? sometimes I do. And, I accept it. I’m a little late to the game on this.

For years I’ve been hearing people talk about adding greens like kale or spinach to their morning smoothies, saying, “You don’t even know it’s there.” Well, I didn’t buy it. Until I tried. Now, green vegetables are regularly included in my morning smoothies.

If you use canned pineapple, you can even add the juice for a sweet-tasting smoothie.
