Banana Spinach Smoothie

A long time ago my boys wanted a smoothie or breakfast but we had to go to the fruit and veg store. I decided to make our favorite green smoothie and just skip the grapes.

Necessity is the mother of invention, so I tweaked the recipe a bit and I’m happy with the resulting spinach and banana smoothie. All three boys enjoyed it and I barely managed to get a sip for myself.
