- To a blender add, milk, raw spinach, banana, honey, egg, vanilla, and melted butter. Blend until completely pureed.
- Combine all dry ingredients.
- You can either add the dry ingredients into the blender with the spinach mixture, or pour the spinach mixture into the dry ingredient bowl. Fold the spinach mixture and dry ingredients together gently until just combined. (Do not over-mix.)

SPINACH MUFFINS
I got this recipe from my sister, Judy. They are a great side dish for dinner or soup, and are easy to make. These muffins might just convert some non-spinach lovers. If you make these in mini-muffin tins, bake for 10-15 minutes.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and grease a standard-size muffin tin well with nonstick spray.
- Place all ingredients into a blender except the flour and chocolate chips, if using.
- Blend until very smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowls as needed. You want the greens to be very finely blended in so the batter is green, as if you were making a smoothie.
- Pulse in the flour just to combine, or stir it in gently.
- Pour batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 cup full. Sprinkle with chocolate chips if using.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes or until firm to the touch and lightly browned around the edges. (You can also check to see if a cake tester inserted into the center comes out cleanly.)
- Remove from the oven and use a paring knife, if needed, to transfer to a wire rack to cool.
- Serve slightly warm, at room temp, or chilled.

- Serve warm: Sweet spinach muffins are best served warm. You can reheat them in the oven or microwave if desired.
