Berry Banana Smoothie

I am transferring all of the recipes from my soon to be defunct food blog to this blog!  Here's a good one!

I made these delicious smoothies last week for Thirsty Thursday (going along with the whole alliterated snack thing I was telling you about yesterday).  Also, I realize that “Thirsty Thursday” sounds like some sort of drinking special at a dive bar in a college town, but, I assure you, that is not the case here 

The girls have been watching Strawberry Shortcake on Netflix lately, so the characters are all “berry this and berry that.”  But, there’s actually berries in this…it’s not just a cute cartoon way to say “very” 

I love all of the healthy ingredients in this!

And my smoothie drinkers liked the taste!

Maggie even saw me add the spinach, and it didn’t weird her out!

Yahoooooooooo!
