Someone Put SPINACH in my Smoothie!

I have several nutrition student, dietetic interns and clients who will all be so very proud that there was spinach in my smoothie this morning.  The reason for there being spinach was quite simple - smoothie was my breakfast plan and yesturday I purchased a large container of organic spinach.  Verdict - not bad.

Smoothie

1 cup Whole Strawberries
3/4 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
6 fl oz Homemade Yogurt
1 cup Fresh Spinach
Ice

I threw everything into my Vitamix and minutes later, breakast was ready to enjoy.  I served it over ice as I had been forwarned that the spinach would not be as pleasant if the beverage was warm or not consumed fairly quickly.  Truth be told, I couldn't taste the spinach so my hesitation while drinking it was mostly psychological.  This recipe now represents one more way for me to get more vegetables into my day.
