Looks like we're only supposed to get 3-5" where I am, so hopefully that holds true.

I am sorry I am an immature child.

You’re better than this.

Actually, no, no you are not.

Better than 3-5" ?? Most are...

Sorry, sorry. Had to BL. You're making it too easy.

This is literally how I felt typing that.

Infinity War is so f***ing awesome. First time watching it not in a movie theater and it’s amazing how fantastic of an action adventure movie it is

I started to realize that I eat almost no fruits or vegetables so I started making these spinach and berries smoothies. Hopefully boost my immune system so I stop getting sick so often. Anyone else try these green smoothies?

My fiance and I have started making them the past couple months. We'll mix in strawberries with spinach the majority of the time. Sometimes add banana as well, but most the time just different berries and spinach. Tastes great, and is healthy to boot. And filling.

Yeah, I see that you can get quite crazy with them adding in all sorts of crap. I was making single serve and just sticking with 1 cup of frozen spinach, 1 cup of frozen mixed berries, 1 cup of water, and 1 scoop of whey isolate but I think I am going to double up to 2 cups of spinach, maybe 1.5 cups of fruit. Also looking to switch over to kale instead of spinach.

We've used kale also. Depends on what's on sale usually, afaik. My fiance buys all the stuff so...

That sounds awful. Why not drink a fruit smoothie and eat a salad?

It's actually not. The kale or spinach just adds green color making it look funky, but it tastes like all fruit. Basically a strawberry smoothie if you use strawberries, etc. I thought the same thing when my fiance started making them. The color just looked like it would taste awful. Tasted it... and it was green, but tasted like all strawberry smoothie. Was delicious. And was pretty damn filling. I need to start doing one for a meal substitute every morning.

You can’t really taste the spinach

 

[ChiHawks10]

Yep. I'm assuming it's what helps make it more filling. Spinach or kale... never tasted either in any of them. Just the fruit.

 

[b1e9a8r5s]

I'm pretty sure my wife does something similar for our 2 year old. Spinach and bananas (or other fruit) in a blender. My daughter loves it. I thought it sounded gross, but I tried it and you actually don't taste the spinach.

 

[ColdSteel2]

Definitely going to get some fruit and try a smoothie after my workout tonight. No spinach though, I eat salads and usually get spinach, don’t mind the taste at all.

This.

This.

Glad you ignored all the posts indicating that you don't taste anything related to the spinach or kale, just the fruit.

May or may not have been intentional.

I have done the smoothie thing as my wife HATES veggies. I just find it much easier to eat/drink them separately. I am a salad fan so that also has an impact.

Just giving you a hard time.

On another note... not looking forward to my commute home today, and it's only 17 miles. The roads are gonna be iced up trash, and there will be lots of morons everywhere who end up in ditches.

Gonna head out early... prolly still take over an hour to go 17 miles. Be careful all!

This what podcasts are for.

Don’t a lot of the nutrients get pulverized in the blending process and then become non existent?

I know that’s the case with overcooking certain vegetables.

 

[plasmonresonance]

Along with the spinach, banana, fruit, etc, I prefer my 'smoothies' with a bit of a crunch. I'll add some pistachios, almonds, homemade granola, or even a dab of peanut butter. Not sure they're still considered smoothies but they're more filling.

And heat (or overcooking) is far more likely to change the chemical nature of an ingredient than agitation by a blender.
