Spring is sprung / The grass is riz / I wonder where the green smoothies iz?
I didn’t have to look farther than my front garden to see that mint is up and at it already, and with a bunch of spinach in the crisper and some watermelon that ripened faster than I could chip away at it, I knew it was time to haul out the super duper blender and mix up a green smoothie.
I’m calling it my melo-nanna mint concoction. First I filled the blender half full of ice, then I threw two handfuls of spinach in there and oh yeah, in honor of Associate Editor Paige Eissinger, a ripened old banana that was doomed to go to the compost heap and then, I cut out the rest of the watermelon, added some fresh picked mint and filled that blender full. I turned on the smoothie setting and you can see the results.
It looked like something my compost heap might turn into if I threw it in the blender, but it tasted far from it! And, I bet you’ll like it too. Get a little crazy in your kitchen this spring and whip up a green smoothie or two. And, if you come up with your own concoction, let us know!

I’m honored that you tossed in an ol’ nanner for me, Babbs. I’m also glad to see it’s that time of year again. It’s time to set up the blender and start tossing in the melons, berries, greens and who knows what else. I can’t wait to start experimenting!
