"It's not easy being green..." so says Kermit the Frog, but it's much easier eating a green breakfast with my smoothie. It's definitely not always easy to balance the taste of spinach in a smoothie drink that you expect to be sweet tasting. However, my smoothie achieves this and more, by keeping fruit selections in the green family and including the sweet over-ripeness of a banana. While pumpkin seeds can also be somewhat of an acquired taste, this is a great way to incorporate them into a healthy breakfast (or lunch) smoothie.
