Indie-Go-Go Smoothie

Feeling blue or just in the mood to drink it? Here is an easy smoothie for you!


1 cup of orange juice
1 small hand full of spinach
2 small hand fulls of blueberries
8 blackberries


BLEND!



Your final result is a pretty hue of purple,which is fun to look at and fun for kids to eat!


B-B-B-Bonus tip: Fruit going bad after you've just set it out? Some fruits and veggies produce a gas called ethylene as they ripen, but this can cause other fruits to ripen faster as well. Keep your ethylene-producing fruit in a separate fruit bowl in another location. Popular examples of ethylene-producers are; bananas, melons, peaches, tomatos and avacados (among others! This is a good site to see a full list on both varieties!) Popular examples of ethylene-sensitives are; apples, watermelon, potatoes, and carrots.

Banana Berry Smoothie

I would first like to reserve my right to come back and change the names of these smoothies as I see fit them, also my measurements are very kid-friendly as I have child-like hands.

Here is a list (here we go again with lists...) of what you will need:



1 cup of orange juice
1 hand-full of raw tender spinach
5 strawberries
2 small hand-fulls of blueberries
1 banana

BLEND!



The final result looks a bit more green than my pictures portray but it predominately tastes of banana. If you don't care for spinach, don't worry, because blended in you can't even taste it.


B-B-B-Bonus tip: freeze fruit that is about to go bad and use them in you smoothie experiments!
