Yay or nay? Ingredients Leafy Greens

To make sure you eat enough of these greens, make sure you put in things like chard, kale, and spinach.

а мені смакує, навіть зі шпинатом і селерою

]]>Ingredients:
To prepare this hangover smoothie you will need basics that you probably have in the freezer. As the name suggests, get one cup spinach and 1/2 cup blueberries. Also get one banana and 1/4 cup of either coconut milk, water, orange juice, apple juice or almond milk to your choice. The last thing you need is four ice cubes. The simplest ingredient list ever.

1 frozen banana 
. Add all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings. 
Breakfast & morePreparation:
Put the banana, blueberries, the juice or milk, and ice cubes together in a blender. Blend them until you get a creamy mixture. This is the time when you add the cup of fresh spinach and blend again.
