Super Bowl Detox Smoothie

This morning I was in dire need of a Super Bowl Detox.

I blame these:

And these:

And definitely these:

And we can't forget the (unphotographed) margaritas. Ouch.

A smoothie made with all kinds of nutritious stuff thrown in fit the bill perfectly for a little healthy pick-me-up after a night of indulgences.

Have you ever seen the so-called "Green Monster" smoothies? Well, this was definitely a Green Monster.

Don't freak out on me. It doesn't taste green....it tastes like a normal fruity smoothie. What makes it green is the big handfuls of baby spinach that add great nutrients, but add no flavor whatsoever.

The best thing about a smoothie is that you can make it however you want and use up fruit that's on it's last leg. In my case I had half a container of fresh blueberries that were about to go to Fruit Heaven, but instead got to become part of this scrumptious and nutritious smoothie. That's a much better way to go, if you ask me! (We'll just ignore the fact that they got pulverized in a blender...at least it was a quick death!)

Here's what my smoothie was composed of, but feel free to get creative with your own and use up what you have!
