This is one of my family's favorite's from the Vita-Mix Cookbook. The only difference is in the book it is called the "Sailor Man Smoothie," we renamed it the Green Monster because our children devour it like little monsters.
I don't recommend putting the ingredients in as it says unless you have a Vita-Mix. If you have a great blender, simply chop up the ingredients a bit. When completed it is a luscious dark green color from the spinach. It is best the first time you make it to have them help; kids enjoy seeing what goes in, and are more likely to try it then.
