My Green Protein Smoothie

My Green Protein Smoothie

After experimenting with several green smoothies, I finally concocted this. I can barely taste the greens, and the baby spinach has a milder flavor than regular spinach to begin with. You can tweak this to taste, but it's a terrific green smoothie as is, and a very healthy recipe. It gives me energy without the jitters, and it tastes great while packed with health benefits.
