We have enjoyed spinach shakes with fruit for a few years now but recently I felt the need to shake things up a little bit (haha). My kids were wanting an ice cream shake and, as always, I was wanting to make it a little more healthful. This is what we came up with. They vary some depending on what we have in the fridge but we have been enjoying them for months.
Chocolate Spinach Shake
1 overripe banana (for sweetness)
1/3 cup cocoa
2 Tbsp brown sugar (or to taste, I really want to try sweetening with dates)
3-4 cups fresh spinach, firmly packed
2 cups vanilla yogurt (or plain yogurt plus a little more brown sugar)
2 cups milk
2-4 Tbsp heavy cream (optional but it balances the flavor really well)
ice to the top of the blender
Place all ingredients in the blender and blend well.
Love it!
