The ingredients for Chocolate Spinach Smoothie are:

Spinach- as much as you want!
Original Almond milk- as much as needed to mix everything...can substitute regular, soy or rice milk
Previously fresh strawberries and grapes that I cut and froze
Fresh banana
Flax oil- a little less than 1 TBSP for single serving
1 TBSP Cocoa powder
Ice- if you want a cold smoothie and your fruit isn't frozen

Here is how you make Chocolate Spinach Smoothie:

I just throw everything into my Hamilton Beach single serving blender...whatever fruit I have on hand. I actually do it in steps and blend one item before adding the next so things don't get stuck. You don't need to add sugar if you have good fruit. Otherwise I would add agave nectar, which is low on the glycemic scale.The spinach mixes in with everything else and you can't taste it at all! Plus, blending it up allows your body to absorb it better than eating it in a salad and relying on your teeth to grind it. I stock up on strawberries, cut them and then freeze them so I can just pull them out whenever I want. If you're making a bigger serving, you can double what I have or just wing it, adding things to taste...that's what I do! Cocoa powder is optional...I tasted the smoothie before I added the cocoa and it tasted pretty good.Number of Servings: 1Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user ISINGFORLIFE.
