Spinach smoothies are delicious, you don't even notice the spinach flavor. I like to pair it with blueberries because then it doesn't look green. My kids love them too and have moved on to try kale as well.

Here is a recipe on ThriftyFun but I would replace the ice cream with some plain yogurt and use a fruit juice (apple) in place of the milk. Yum, I may have to get some frozen berries at the store and make this for my boys tomorrow morning.

I blend a simple smoothie using a handful of fresh spinach, a whole banana, some milk, water, and honey and I can't taste the spinach at all! It's very good but you can always experiment with your favorite fruit to create a delicious smoothie.
