Berry Spinach Smoothie

We make smoothies a lot in the evenings to fill up our little toddler who won't eat during the day.  This is by far my favorite, and possibly the kids' favorite too.  I don't have measurements as I just dump it in, so you'll have to experiment a little.

Ingredients:

large handful of spinach (Pack it in!  Be sure you put it in the bottom so it will blend well.)

frozen mixed berries (Maybe about 1 cup.  I use the bag from Costco.)

banana

1/2 container of lemon yogurt (If you don't have lemon, use another kind but add some lemon juice.  It goes great with the blueberries)

water (just enough to get it blended)

Blend and serve!

Banana Protein Shake

This shake was created by Sam and Leah.  I added the word 'protein' to the shake name because it is an extremely high source of protein.  Thanks Leah, as Ellie won't eat meat so I'm always looking for ways to supplement.  I've tried versions of this shake before, but never with tofu or flax seed.  I usually just make shakes for the kids, but with chocolate I'll probably have to save a cup for me!

2 cups ice
2 cups milk
2 bananas
1/2 cup peanut butter
2 Tbsp cocoa powder
1/3 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup extra firm tofu
2 Tbsp flax seed

Put all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.
