I have created “The Double Down Green Monster”. As a new mom to a 11 month old precious baby girl I need to pack in all the nutrients I can to increase energy compensating for sleepless nights.
So here is what I have done:
2 cups fat free vanilla soy milk
3 cups of spinach (uncooked)
3 kiwi
2 bananas
1 cup frozen pineapple core (whenever we cut fresh pineapple we freeze the core as it enhances flavor, nutrients and texture of any smoothie)
I have named this “double down” for two reasons: firstly it’s a double batch as a new mom I don’t have time to make a fresh smoothie every morning so I simply freeze half take it out the next am put in some warm water and voila thawed and fresh as the day before in no time; secondly double punch of green kiwi are often a forgotten about fruit loaded with vitamin C and many other nutrients.
Off to make a fresh batch of the double down GM enjoy!!

I am so glad I read about the pineapple core! I LOVE fresh pineapple so when its in season I eat it all the time. I am going to steal this secret to use next time I cut up a pineapple. Thanks!!
