Ok, I've heard variations of this from different sources and always thought it was totally gross. However, in my desperation to get my kids to eat fresh, raw vegetables I decided to try it and *shock* it's SO good! This is the recipe I've settled on and I swear that you can't taste the greens. Even Scott loves it!! I add yogurt and a bit of apple juice (the source I got this from added plain yogurt and herbal sweetener, but I'm not that hard core...).
In your blender:
1 single serving cup of vanilla yogurt (I use Trader Joe's)
1/3 c or so of apple juice
Fill blender with kale (I use black), spinach and collard greens (or any variation of greens)
Blend until smooth, then add:
1 ripe banana
1-2 c of mixed berries (frozen)
SO SO good - you can only taste the berries and banana and it gives you at least 5 servings of fresh, raw greens. AWESOME!

Ew Kale is what we used to feed chester...thats sick...but I guess I'll try it at thanksgiving. I do live bananas and berries!
Okay, so I FINALLY tried this today, and it was pretty good! My kids LOVED it. Even Averi, and she's at that picky stage right now. I think I'll add in an extra banana or more apple juice next time. I think it still needs a little bit more to cover up the vegetable taste, but it's definitely being made again!
