you add different greens to the smoothies and by adding the fruit you don't taste the sometimes strong flavour of the greens. although once you've been drinking them for awhile (like me) you get to like the flavour.

it's all about health. it's all about nutrition.

and... it's all about taste!
Health is a big helping of fresh spinach!! Nanner for dessert!!
I always eat spinach. Fresh with cuts of yellow squash, zuchinni, tomatoe, broccoli, whatever veggies I have. I never could get into liquid veggies. Got to have that crunch!! I haven't ever been a smoothie person. I have them on occasion, but seems to be something lacking. Everyone tells me I should get into it for health reasons. It would take some serious getting used to. My size is finally going down again, but not my weight. I don't care if I weigh 300 as long as I feel good and wear my size 32-33 jeans!!
My ideal weight I guess is about 200 lbs. since I have a lot of muscle. That means I need to lose about 30 more lbs. I back slid a little but caught it and started working out again.
