My Favourite Green Machine Smoothie for kids

This is great smoothie for kids who aren't as keen on milk based drinks or prefer a fruitier/tropical taste. If your kids need need a bit of encouragement to try something "green" try some silly names like "Witches brew or Hulk Juice". You can also play a game by getting your kids to "turn their smoothie green". Start by blitzing up all but the green spinach. The ask your child to add one baby spinach leaf and watch as it disappears into nothing when blended. Amazing!! Slowly but surely add more baby spinach until it is green.
