My new favorite treat is a spinach shake. It's loaded with vitamins and fiber, tastes amazing, & gives lots of energy...the following recipe will yeild about 20 oz ~ enough for breakfast with some left over for later in the day as a snack. In the morning, I take a good multi-vitamin with it for an unbelievable punch.In a blender, combine 8 oz of water, 1 banana, 4 strawberries, 1 egg, 1 teaspoon of lemon juice, two large handfuls of spinach, ice, & 1 heaping scoop of Jackie Warner's "Perfect Shake" mix http://www.jackiewarner.com/store/detail.aspx?catid=48&id=261 which is a blend of spirulina, cabbage greens, & anti-oxidants at 24 calories per serving without any sugar or sodium.
The fruit not only gives fiber & vitamins, but evens out the blood sugar, which curbs junk food cravings. My children both love it, as well.
