Breakfast Smoothie

Green Monster Smoothie *Makes 2 servings

1 banana

1 ½ cups lowfat milk or soymilk

1 pear (peeled and cored)

1 ½ cups fresh baby spinach leaves, stems trimmed off

6 ice cubes

Add all ingredients to blender and puree until smooth.  Makes a great breakfast if you want to lose weight and it’s gluten free.  Also a great way to get your kids to drink more fruits and vegetables (they won’t taste the spinach, just the sweetness of the fruit….tell them it’s the green monster!)
