What's a recipe for a green smoothie?

A blended smoothie can offer the perfect breakfast, lunch or snack. Start with your favorite fruits and some low-fat or almond milk and then throw in a handful of greens for an added nutritional boost (1 cup of greens equals one serving of veggies). If you're worried that you won't like the flavor of the spinach or romaine, add a banana, or a small spoonful of peanut butter, or both and you won't taste the greens.
