Don’t let the spinach throw you off. Its just like throwing it in the shake, you can’t taste it! You just get the benefits!

The kids thought they were fun to eat and had no idea they were eating their daily greens.Winking smile

Waffle tip! Freeze your leftovers and toast them later! That’s actually my favorite way to eat them!

Hope you guys had a great day!
