Elijah just said - update

"MOM you gave me a lot. You gave me fifteen hundred two pounds!!" Hopefully he still likes the smoothie and can't tell it's full of beet greens and black beans. Mwhaahaa haa!

update:
well, the greens and beans weren't the trouble. The beet stems were a little hardier than I thought. Talk about stringy. I choked mine down and I can't believe Elijah drank most of his. Eva had one spoonful and politely said that she didn't like this smoothie. Yeah, me neither.

Hey,
just wondering if you've had any successful veg/bean/fruit smoothies?! I would love to get the recipes off of you.
I been loving putting together some apple/celery/carrot/blueberry kinds of smoothies but beans sound like a great addition to the healthy smoothie arsenal!
chow,

oh boy - beans, hey? I'm a healthy smoothie girl, but I don't know if I could get used to beans in it. You'll have to tell me how your creations go and if you find a good combo.

Oh. I often make smoothies that I am surprised they choke down. You could try kale or spinach to add some green. Less chunky :)

Also, pumpkin.
