Adding blueberries makes it purple! Try that.

Also, sorry if this has been answered before, but I have a huge bag of fresh spinach. No way can I use it up before it goes bad.

Is it possible to freeze it in sandwich baggies to use in smoothies?

Thanks~

Hi Shaun, Yes it is possible.Have you considered cream of spinach soup? It would use up the whole bag! :-)I'd steam the spinach, mix it with the steam water, toss in a hand full of cashews and some sea salt, whiz it up, and YUM! ;-)

You are welcome! I'd use only a small amount of the steam water at first, and work your way up until you reach the consistency that you like!
