When i was a child, those words often rang out in our house. "Greens are good for you" or "eat your greens". My brother even planted spinach in the back garden and was so upset when it did not come up in cans as Popeye's did.
So, how do you get your greens everyday? The answer is a "Green Smoothie". Here's one i made today.
In an high powered blender, place:
1 Banana
1/3rd of a can of peaches in juice (you can use a fresh peach, but i hadn't got any)
A tablespoon of oats
A heaped teaspoon of Chia Seeds (for Calcium)
3-4 lumps of frozen spinach
1-2 dates
A cup of vanilla or sweetened soy milk (if you use unsweetened, add 2-3 dates or some agarve syrup).
Add a cup of iced water (wait 5 mins for the chia to absorb some of the water and swell up, if you can be bothered, have more time on your hands than the rest of us) and blend until smooth.
Drink and enjoy.
Yes, it looks like dragon snot, but it tastes delicious and it does you good to get your greens.

Mm, not sure about the dragon snot look first thing! Sounds healthy though.
