A Non-green Smoothie

I have been sharing my spinach-rich Green Smoothie recipes.  You can read about them here and here.

As I've mentioned before my other half will NOT eat green vegetables so there was no way I was going to get him to eat a green smoothie.

So I did some research to find non green fruit or vegetables full of nutrients/vitamins and fiber.  I was very surprised to discover that blackberries have over 7g of fiber in them!  Since berries aren't in season right now I chose to use a bag of frozen mixed berries.

I stuck with the base of coconut milk and banana since it worked so well with the green smoothies and he'd get all the great benefits of both!  I blended it all up...a nice pretty color...well not that pretty, but it wasn't green!

It was met with a little hesitation, but after the first sip he was sold! (whew!)

Non-Green Smoothie #1
2 Bananas
1 Can coconut milk
12 Ounces frozen mixed berries (strawberries, blackberries, blueberries)
1/4 C cranberry juice


I might try sneaking a little bit of spinach in next time to see if it's even noticed.  As long as it doesn't turn green I think the secret will be safe!
