"Hidden" Spinach Smoothie

Looking for a way to incorporate leafy greens into your picky eater's diet?  Try this delicious smoothie featuring "hidden" spinach and strawberries.  Spinach is a powerhouse vegetable high in nutritional value.  Among its many vitamins and minerals, fresh spinach contains Vitamin A (especially Lutein) which promotes healthy eyes, Vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant, and Folic Acid which prevents anemia by helping the body to produce red blood cells.


Spinach and Strawberry Smoothie
1 1/2 Cups of plain, lowfat yogurt
6 Cups of fresh whole leaf baby spinach, washed
2 Cups of frozen strawberries
2 TBS of honey

Place all ingredients in a blender and pulse until smooth. 
Serve and enjoy!
