Several months ago, Hillary sparked my interest in green smoothies after she attended a class on making them. Then I saw a product demonstration for this amazing blender (it blends pretty much anything -- raw carrots and apples, seeds and nuts, iPads and iPhones, etc.) and I've been coveting it ever since. My super-sweet hubby got it for me for our anniversary and I am loving it! And Ellie, who doesn't normally get juice, thinks she's hit the jackpot -- she loves everything that comes out of the blender.
Yesterday, we had grape, strawberry, and spinach juice (the color left a lot to be desired, but it was really tasty). Ellie kept asking for more!
Then, in the afternoon, I made some peanut butter and banana "ice cream" (just p.b., banana, milk, and ice) and Ellie LOVED it! She was so funny -- she couldn't stop giggling because she was so excited.This morning, we had grape, strawberry, blueberry, kale, and carrot juice. And, again, Miss Ellie wanted "mo', mo'"!
It's pretty cool to be able to get green leafy veggies in Ellie (and myself!)....and to have Ellie even enjoy it! Thanks, Hillary, for introducing me to green smoothies, and thanks, Damian, for the awesome blender!

So, you really can't taste the kale and spinach? How about liver? I'm thinkin' the PB ice cream sounds wonderful.
We've been making these, too, thanks to Hillary. My favorite combo so far is 1 banana, 1 cup frozen pineapple, 1 cup frozen mango, 1 cup water and 3 cups loosely packed spinach. Cora sucks those down!
What kind of blender did you get?
Yippee for the awesome blender!!! I'll try not to be jealous:) And YEA for Ellie drinking the green smoothies, they are the BEST! So glad ya'll like them!
