"Thick as Ice-Cream" Smoothie

Do you crave ice-cream like EVERYDAY?  Are you not a big fan of protein shakes?
Do you like Jamba-Juice but think that the calorie content of their smoothies is way too high??

THIS IS FOR YOUUUUUUUUU!

I like making this shake for breakfast on the weekends, or at night when I want ice-cream but don't have any (or feel bad eating it).  Its freakin awesome and super good for you.

Every few weeks when I go food shopping I buy a butt load of berries, bananas, and most recently I've added grapes to the mix.  I get home, set aside a little bit to eat fresh, and then freeze the rest in a big bag.

So I freeze the whole bag so that when i want a smoothie i just go in there and grab a handful of it for the blender.  The fruit doesn't have to be frozen, but I prefer my smoothies super duper cold, and everything being frozen makes it feel less like a smoothie and more like dessert. 

So everything in a blender with the following: a handful of baby spinach (you won't even taste it!), vanilla soy milk, a small scoop of spirulina protein powder of any fun flavor, a spoonful of hemp protein powder, and a spoonful of Kyo-Green. 

Pulse it, pour it, DRINK IT!  I eat it with a spoon.  Sometimes I put unsweetened shredded coconut or cacao nibs on top for fun.  OMG.  I kinda want one right now! Dessert!
