It sounds weird and looks like swamp water - but its really tasty, and amazingly good for you - a great way to force loads calcium and iron rich spinach into your diet :D
- 1 banana
- 1/3 bag spinach (a couple of handfuls)
- 1 medium carrot
- juice of two oranges
- juice of half a lemon or lime
Blend on high for a minute to get the carrot really fine.
Honestly, you can’t taste the spinach, and the carrot adds a nice freshness that hides the acidity of the citrus. Enjoy!
