Green smoothie adventures

I had to laugh at myself this afternoon.  I've made 3 homemade green smoothies over the past 2 days and....2 of them were awesome!  The most recent try was a super-fail, though.

Tasty:

1/2 cup orange juice
1 cup of Greek yogurt (vanilla or strawberry were on hand)
Large handful of washed kale and spinach from our garden
1-2 cups of frozen fruit (banana, mango, and apricot have been great!)




NOT so great--tasted like I was drinking a bitter veggie salad!  I think the main culprit was the added lettuce and the absence of orange juice.  It was awful:

1/2 cup water
Handful of oats
Handful of kale, spinach, and leaf lettuce from the garden
1-2 cups of frozen apricot and mango
Dash of milk from the fridge

Lesson learned:  If it ain't broke, don't fix it!  Time to stock up on OJ, frozen fruit, and Greek yogurt. :)
