Recipe: Pineapple Banana Smoothie

Yes, I can be pretty sneaky at times, but it is always for a good cause. When my husband and I started our raw food lifestyle, he absolutely despised anything green. I started making this smoothie for him and he loved it.  I let him in on the secret and he admitted that spinach wasn't so bad after all. Spinach has a long list of amazing health benefits. Spinach contains antioxidants, aids as an anti-inflammatory, helps lower blood pressure, helps with vision, contains key components that fight infection, aids in preventing acne and wrinkles, contains protein that is essential for maintaining bone density, helps with brain and nerve functions, and contains anti cancer properties. So as you can see Popeye had it right all along. Spinach is packed with tons of nutritional benefits. So make sure to get some of those greens in daily. You may have to be sneaky like me but it is for a good cause.

Ingredients:

2 frozen bananas

1 cup fresh spinach

1/2 cup frozen pineapple

Place all ingredients into blender and blend until smooth. Depending whether or not you used frozen ingredients you may need to add a little bit of ice or water to reach a desired consistency.

Enjoy!
