Fallen Souffle

So I am on a major health kick right now which led me to buy the largest bag of baby spinach ever! I guess I thought I would be eating alot of salads but I can only takes those for about two days before I am bored, so I had to get creative with the spinach. I have sauteed it with olive oil and garlic, then squeezed a little lemon over it. I have put it on pizza, I have even thrown it in some pasta. Now that the spinach is looking less than desirable I needed a way to squeeze the last bit of life out of if.

So I turned to my girl Ali in one of the issues of Very Good Things and found her recipe for Fruits and Greens Smoothies. This was perfect! I just so happen to have a plethora of fruits hanging around in the fridge was well as about a gallon of vanilla yogurt (yeah I told you it was quite a kick!) So with a little tweaking I was on my way to a beautiful start to my day!

Never underestimate the power of spinach! It is so good for you and extremely versatile. I will be writing alot more about it in the coming days as I experiment more with it.
