Learning to love greens

I'm not a fan of green veggies. Not at all. In fact there are a few, spinach I'm talking to you, that actually make me gag. As a nursing mom, I know how important a balanced diet is, so I'm trying to love them. I find if I mix them into dishes and mask the flavor I have an easier time convincing myself that it tastes good; or convincing myself there isn't actually any green lurking in my food.
Smoothies are a lifesaver for me. I can toss all kinds of yucky veggies in the blender and so long as there is fruit, I'm good. I like frozen strawberries, kale, bananas, a little honey, yogurt and some orange juice.
What do you put in your smoothie?

Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal Smoothie

I recently discovered Pinterest and have since been pinning my little heart out every night before bed and one of my pins was this smoothie from Bo's Bowl. During my morning rush, you can see my lunch bag that I'm packing in the background, I threw all the ingredients in the blender and like magic-breakfast in less than a minute. It's delicious and filling. You won't be hungry until lunch, I promise.

I'm linking up for the Crazy Cooking Challenge this month.
