Smoothies without the moo

During this last week, I have sworn off milk products, all in order to see if Lily had a possible milk protein allergy. Fingers crossed, but Dr. Flanzbaum, who by the way I LOVE, thinks that it is most likely Miss Lily is just having explosive poops which cause the little bit of blood.

However, it in this journey (albeit, short) of eating non-dairy meals, I have created two favorite smoothie recipes that do not include yogurt or milk. One has peanut butter, great for additional protein, and the other spinach, for important roughage!

A cup of OJ
2 Tbsp of PB (or I imagine any kind of nut butter)
a frozen banana cut into pieces
1 squeeze of honey (probably unnecessary)

Throw into the blender until nice and creamy!

The Popeye Shake. Yes, I know. It looks like dirt. But it really tastes nothing like it looks!

3/4 cup of juice (I use 1/4 c of pomegrante and 1/2 c of oj),
1 frozen banana cut into pieces
7-8 frozen strawberries (or other preferred fruit--peaches, blueberries, etc.)
3/4 c of spinach leaves.
Throw everything into the blender and mix until there are no more whole leafs! You will have to scrape down the sides a couple of times, probably, to get the all the spinach blended up. Or add in a smidge more juice to get it smooth!
