Hi Pat, I followed your suggestion for the Simple Green Smoothie and I just have to tell you thank you! I had a few collard greens leftover from New Year's Day and added it to the mix! It was delicious! Eager to try different combinations now that I know how easy it is to make and how good I feel after drinking one!! Thanks for ALL your suggestions!

Made our first green smoothie today! Used Spinach, Frozen Strawberries, a couple of Dates, a squeeze of Honey, Flax Seed, and Mango and a splash of water!<br />
<br />
The consistency was perfect, smooth and thick, but not too much. My daugther and I loved it. I told her what was in it but waited until she tasted it to tell her about the Spinach. She was delightfully surprised!!<br />
<br />
Thanks for inspiring me!!

Start with a small amount of spinach for kids. Add some banana which masks the bit of bitterness in raw greens. Baby greens are much sweeter. You can add a bit of honey or maple syrup too. If you use juice (much higher in sugar) instead of water, that will make it very sweet. Avocado helps soften the flavors too, ime.<br />

The green color is tough for some people. Adding just a smidgen of raw beets will make it RED and that feels easier to swallow to a newbie to smoothies, I think. Also, I LOVE a…

The green color is tough for some people. Adding just a smidgen of raw beets will make it RED and that feels easier to swallow to a newbie to smoothies, I think. Also, I LOVE a splash of cinnamon (which adds a sweet savory flavor) and a splash of cayenne. Go EASY on the cayenne. But, it adds so much brightness and stimulation without being spicy or hot.<br />
<br />
Experiment and ask for feedback. Have the kids suggest alternatives. Figs or dates are another way to sweeten and gives a softening flavor.<br />

Wow! Those are all the different kinds of "greens?"<br />
<br />
I like to use coconut milk as the liquid in my green smoothies.<br />
<br />
I also bought various greens at the farmer's market when they were in season and froze the leaves whole to add to my smoothies in the subsequent months.
