Green Tinkerbell Smoothie
In case you either don't have a little kid or or don't follow mainstream media at all, you should know that Frozen came out on DVD last week. Meaning that we have had it playing in our house non-stop all weekend and even after school on Monday for good measure. Since we lost the remote, we watch the previews every.single.time which is normally annoying, but this time they introduced us to a gem of a movie called
. Lily can't wait until it comes out for us to take home on Blu-ray and Digital HD (conveniently, it came out today, so we won't have to wait long!). Anything combining pirates and fairies is pretty much a guaranteed winner around here. Don't tell anyone, but I'm excited to see it, too. :) To get ready to celebrate the release, I made a green Tinkerbell smoothie. I figure, it's kid-friendly but still packed with nutrition. Including spinach! This is the first time I made a smoothie with spinach, and I was worried at first, but it's 100% true that you can't taste it against the other strong. sweet fruit flavors. It's magical. Much like the fairies. The sprinkles around the rim of the glass are optional, of course, but they sparkle and shimmer and make the smoothie fun. I'll definitely make these again and try out different fruit combos!
