Green Creamsicles

I've been on a bit of a healthier lifestyle kick lately during the week, mostly due to the nutrition lunch and learn at work a few weeks ago that really opened my eyes to how important it is to eat organic.


So, when I stumbled upon the below picture and recipe on Amanda's instagram I was excited to try it out for breakfast over the weekend.


Ingredients

1-2 cups of spinach, rinsed
1 orange, peeled
1/2 cup of organic skim milk (may try the almond milk next time)
1 tbsp. of natural vanilla
2 cups of ice


Directions

Add all ingredients to blender or juicer until fully combined, and enjoy.

    I tried hard this year, but the smoothie is not for me. MFD love them though!

    Yum!! I can definitely get behind a green recipe that has 'creamsicle' in its name :)

    I'm completely turned off by green smoothie drinks! But as I'm also trying to get my life together by working out and eating better this definitely is worth a try. If you say it's good I believe you. lol

    I love drinking my greens more than eating extra of them - always looking for new recipes so this is great!

    These look amazing (though I'm not going to lie, I looked at the blender photo and though that was chicken or something in it??? haha). I am definitely pinning this one for a pool-side refresher :)

    Mmmmm I really want to start making some healthy drinks! I have all of the ingredients for this except the spinach... I wonder if arugula would work though?

    Love reading new smoothie recipes and things like this! Creamsicle makes it sounds like a dessert but the ingredients are all healthy.
