I accidentally discovered that you cannot detect green spinach with darker berries and my 3 year old loves them. He has no idea there is spinach in them. One year old loves them no matter the color. She shares my green smoothies all the time. What a wonderful way to get nutrition into the kids. And my kid's pediatrician laughed when I said I wanted to find veggies with iron rather than supplement with constipating iron supplements. She wouldn't laugh if she saw these kids drinking down a glass of liquid fruits and veggies! It is not so hard to get kids to eat healthy. Love this smoothie.

Place in a single layer on a cookie sheet, place in freezer. Once frozen, slide off cookie sheet and into freezer bags. Then they never stick together, as they are frozen apart!

I even ventured into new territory this a.m. and added raw chard instead of spinach, and it still worked! I am really picky with my veggies so gettin' em' in a smoothie is genius. It's also nice because using them raw saves you from having to take time to cook your veggies--it's an easy way to increase your daily # of veggie and fruit servings....yum yum Sas Alisa,I have now had your blueberry smoothie at least 5 times, it’s delish!
