Green Smoothie

With it being St. Patricks day and all, this was my afternoon snack.....

... a green smoothie! I've been drinking a lot of smoothies lately and this is the one I threw together today for the occasion, pineapple, banana and spinach. For those of you who have not tried a green smoothie, this is a good place to start. Spinach has a very mild flavor so it's not even detectable in the finished drink, I didn't feel the need for anymore sweetness but feel free to add some honey or maple syrup if you desire.
