I’ve been trying to find new ways to include vegetables in my diet and I’ve heard from several people that spinach in the magic ingredient. Indeed – I am enjoying adding spinach to my smoothies now. So far we’ve tried it with honeydew melon, fresh peaches, cantaloupe, strawberries, carrots, and just plain with vanilla protein powder. I always add Silk Light Soy Milk, which gives it a nice creamy flavor. If I do add fruit, I try to add fruit that is lower in calories.
So far I’ve been pleased with what we’ve come up with. The boys now get excited when I start the blender because they know their smoothies are on the way (I give them theirs before I add the protein powder).
Sammy enthusiastically kicks his feet and grunts in anticipation while Aron’s smile grows into a toothy grin which brightens his face.
Sammy can drink two baby feeders full; Aron usually will do one feeder full and then likes to drink more from a cup.

I probably wouldn’t eat much spinach otherwise, but I like the satisfaction of getting healthy raw foods into my diet. It’s tasty enough and it certainly can only help me.
My husband and I have newly discovered green smoothies. You may be interested in a book called "Eat to Live" it is by a Dr Fuhrman (spelling may be wrong). He talks about reducing dairy, salt, refined grains, and fatty meats in the diet. Basically we've been eating fruits, veggies, legumes, and a little bit of lean meats. It's surprising how good raw and simple foods taste now that my taste buds have been weaned from all that processed food. Good luck on your continued weight loss.
