Mama Bear Smoothie, Baby Bear Smoothie

Am I the only green smoothie mama who makes different smoothies for her than the kids?
I like my green smoothies to taste and look, well... green.

My husband recently drank his FIRST green smoothie at a Green Smoothie Girl demo. She makes the smoothies at her class with tons of berries so they won't be green and he really liked that. She also adds agave to some of the smoothies for the really timid and he liked that too. My husband and kids consume a lot of sugar outside the home and I think they need sweeter smoothies to enjoy them than I do. So, I make boring spinach-banana-berry smoothies for them and I get all the crazy, adventurous, good stuff with really high greens ratios.

Pina Colada *husband said this was good, but he only had one sip
2 cups water
1/3 blender parsley
2/3 blender spinach
1 1/2 Tbs flax oil
8 drops stevia
1 banana
1 pear
1 cup frozen pineapple
1 Tbs coconut milk powder
makes about 5 cups

Parsley
2 cups water
1/3 blender parsley
2/3 blender spinach
1 1/2 Tbs flax oil
8 drops stevia
2 bananas
1 pear
makes about 5 cups

No, you're not the only Mom who makes different GS for herself than for her children. I have much less fruit in my smoothies than my children and I enjoy a change of greens, they only like spinach and hate celery in theirs. But I decided this week that it is worth the time to make the two different flavors, because they WILL go without drinking them at all if they have to stomach mine...so I DO IT!
