Green Smoothie

There are many different green smothie ideas out there, this is the one I whipped up this morning. I love experimenting with smoothies. This is a great way to get some raw spinach into your diet, which is full of anti-oxidants, vitamins A, C, and E, as well as folic acid, calcium, and beta carotene. The banana and yogurt make this smoothie delightfully sweet, and the tofu adds protein keeping you satisfied. I always add ground flax seed to my smoothies for the healthy omega oils and the added fiber. Try it, you will be suprised at how good it tastes!
