Spinach Smoothie

From my friend Cass.

Don't knock it til you try it.

Take about 4 big handfuls of spinach, blend them down w/a little cup of diced peaches in juice (Also refill the empty peaches cup w/water and throw that in)
Then when the spinach is totally pureed, Add about 1/2 a banana, and a handful of frozen mango, couple of ice cubes, and let 'er rip!
It's all a really beautiful, vibrant green color, and amazingly, it tastes NOTHING like spinach. All you can taste is yummy peachy/nana/mango goodness. Adding berries is yummy too, but be ready for the color of your smoothie to take a definite nosedive---it looks pretty gross. But it still tastes so yummy.
