Arl's "not plastic" Green Smoothie

Inspired by reading finally reading Victoria Boutenko's "Green for Life", I woke up and promptly made a green smoothie with Rhiana. We made one from the book, "Igor's Favourite" because we had all the ingredients. Rhiana had fun helping me, putting fruit in the blender and I let her use the tamper even though it didn't need it. I grabbed a plastic straw and had a sip, it didn't seem sweet enough or something, I think it may have been the apples we had, they weren't very sweet at all. So I took out the straw and added some juice from a small orange.

So Rhiana and I sat down at her table with green smoothies and as I drank mine I noticed all these fibres. At first I thought it was the white part of the spinach but then I realised it was plastic. Oh no! I blended in the straw. Did I forget to take it out or did Rhiana put it in while I turned my back. I don't know but we promptly got rid of that one.

Rhiana was crying for her green smoothie, yes crying, who says kids don't like greens. So I made a different one and came up with this really yummy combo.
