THIS WEEK'S CRAVINGS LINKY PARTY #20 (Go GREEN!!!) and St. Patrick's Day Frog Smoothie (GLUTEN-FREE)

THIS WEEK'S CRAVINGS Linky Party #20

The Theme is: GO GREEN for St. Patrick's Day Celebration

St. Patrick's is not a big holiday celebration around our house, but we do always make sure we wear our GREEN as we head out the door in the morning. This year will be no different, but this year we will be making sure we celebrate with lots of GREEN food. And since St. Patrick's Day is just a few days away, I can't wait to see what GREEN food you all bring to the blog hop party! I would love to see some GREEN cookies or some GREEN cupcakes. I will have to make them as soon as you share the recipe with all of us!

I came across this Frog Nog on Sister's Cafe Blog, where I spent the entire day on Friday printing out recipe after recipe of some amazing things I want to try. But since GREEN food day was coming first, I thought this recipe was perfect (plus I had some left-over spinach in the refrigerator)! This smoothie is so sweet and as long as you can get past the GREEN color, it is actually one of the best smoothies I have ever made.

St. Patrick's Frog Smoothie (GLUTEN-FREE)
adapted from original recipe found on Sister's Cafe Blog

2-4 cups spinach or other greens (I use mixed spinach and arugula)

1 banana
1/4 cup crushed pineapple
1 tbsp Honey
1 Vanilla Yogurt

Fill food processer (works MUCH better then a blender) with greens and a few tbsp of water. Pulse to blend until the greens turn to liquid greens. Add in banana, pineapple, honey and yogurt and continue to blend until smooth. Pour into the glass and serve!
