I love these smoothies. They are so good and they are so healthy too! They are super low in points+ value, but are so filling. The spinach seemed so weird to me at first, but you can't taste it at all. I like that it gets me an extra serving of vegetables without feeling like I am eating them.
1/2 large banana
1 cup spinach. (Has to be fresh. It will make a nasty chewy smoothie if you use frozen.)
1/2 cup 1% milk
1/2 cup fat free yogurt. I usually use plain, but you could use vanilla flavored as well.
As much frozen fruit as you'd like. I usually do 1/2 cup strawberries, 1/2 cup blueberries and 1/2 cup raspberries. Derek likes 1/2 cup strawberries, 1/2 cup mangoes, and 1/2 cup pineapple. The more fruit you use the thicker the smoothie will be. I like mine to be the consistency of a shake. It makes it feel more like a treat and feels my craving for ice cream.
A Weight Watchers leader suggested putting in 2 teaspoons of healthy oil in with it to hit your healthy oil check for the day. I do this a lot because I have no other idea on how to fit it into my day.
Blend together until smooth.
One serving is 2 points+ without oil, 4 points+ with oil.
