Spinach or any greens & fruit smoothies

Can someone please post good recipes for spinach and fruits blends. I heard that you won’t taste the spinach when mixed with fruits.
I cannot seemed to get the spinach down my throat and I need other ways to eat it :frowning:
Does anyone know if I make a smoothy, how long I can keep it in the fridge?
I heard that within an hour, good fruit enzymes start to die…so it is best to drink it right away.

My absolute fave smoothie in the world (and yeah it includes spinach.. btw, try baby spinach, it's not as bitter..)

So yeah, baby spinach, a whole orange, chunks of fresh pineapple and strawberries...
Can't begin to tell you how GOOD it tastes and how it's so refreshing and I also like to think that it always gives a healthy glow to my face :D

^ Sounds good. Jalpari, have you tried baby spinach in salads with tomatoes and avacado? It tastes good, nothing bad.

Jalpari, you should definitely try baby spinach in your salads. Another option is to make a spinach raita. Yes, it tastes great! You don't really need a recipe but you can make it the way eggplant raita is made or can add your favorite ingredients! :)

Re: Spinach or any greens & fruit smoothies

This is what I put in my smoothies...

orange juice
apple
banana
strawberries
lemon/lime (optional)
honey
a small chunk of frozen pineapple
(I buy fresh pineapple, cut it up into little pieces and freeze)

Blend it all ...tastes awesome. Now all you have to do is add spinach/baby spinach..give it a try. I doubt you'll taste it much.

Thanks for the recipes guys....I am going to try them out soon.
I used to eat baby spinach salad a lot until last year...and then i guess i developed this sort of phobia or just dislikeness for them...maybe i ate too much too many times.....
in past few months to force myself i have bought bags of baby spinach and they sat in the fridge untouched and then i had to throw them out :(
