My Very Own Smoothie

So I was thinking of what would be a good recipe to share on this blog that I am doing every week, and so obviously I am thinking of all the best recipes I have ever used to make delicious things (usually desserts), and naturally, they were all recipes that belonged to or were created by other people. I realized that I love to cook, but I have never really tried to make my own smoothie. I was just kinda messing around and putting things together that might taste good, but then I tried to make it healthy... and that was when it started to get messed up. I made it the first time in a Vitamix blender, and to be honest it probably didn't taste that good anyways, but once I had made it I put it into clear cups... and it was green. Oops. Not very appealing to 8 year olds. So I tried again, and again, but my little bro didn't like any of them. The one I made last night though, he actually liked it! It was made of mainly fruits, but it still turned out green because of the lil' bit of spinach that I threw in there. So, here is the recipe so that you can try making it yourself and tell me if you liked it!

Ingredients:

1 cup strawberries
1/2 banana
1 handful spinach
1 cup ice
1/3 cup milk (or add more if you want it creamier)
1 tablespoon maple syrup

Method:

Plug in the Vitamix to the wall.
Put all of the ingredients into the blender.
Put the lid on the blender.
Change the settings to frozen dessert or smoothie.
Turn it on and let it blend all the ingredients together.
Pour the mixture into the cups.
Voila! :)
