My spinach salad smoothie

My wife and children think I'm disgusting. I think what I did was genius. Maybe I'll be the disgusting genius?

I took leftover spinach/strawberry salad, put it in the blender with some Naked Juice Blue Machine, watched it turn completely green (which caused my wife to comment on how disgusting it was), threw in a few ice cubes, and viola!  Salad through a straw.  And it tasted GREAT.  

I know people have been putting spinach, broccoli and other veggies in their smoothies for a while.  But this was the first time I took what was otherwise a perfectly fine salad (with some slivered almonds as well) and drank it.  

I'm inspired.  I love my Vita-mix, and for a long time wanted to try a full week of nothing but smoothies/juices and this may just be the kickoff that I need.  I think the next experiment is a full 1-pound bag of spinach with some berries.

More power to you, healthy-man.
There are lots of foods that smell/look bad but taste good.

Just don't bring one for me. ;-)

They won't be selling those at Chick-Fil-A, will they?
