I think there's something a bit self-centered about batidos, right? I make them only for me … that is, until I tried this AMAZING green smoothie that everyone in my house loved. It's a true liquid salad, made from fruits, spinach and kale (or any green veggie you have on hand), which give it that bright green color.
To sweeten things up a bit, I used a dab of agave nectar. And let me tell you, this batido was rockin–my kids gobbled it up as did their friends. It's a true home-run of fiber and vitamins that will keep them full and will help you achieve that flat belly you've always wanted!
