Earlier today I posted two taste-tested green smoothie recipes I featured on Blogcritics Tastes: Green Berry Banana and Peachy Green. The peachy green one was my favorite until I whipped up a new one today—and this one I totally made up without any sort of starting recipe.
Sometimes I surprise myself.
This is by far my favorite, though I did set it on the "smoothie" setting twice to make sure there weren't any extra spinach floaties hanging around. I can't stand floaties of any kind except marshmallows in my hot cocoa. Or pebble ice in my Diet Coke.

Where should I be looking to find agave nectar?
Emily
Most grocery stores carry it now, but you can find some good agave nectar at Costco. Also, any Whole Foods or other natural foods market should carry it. It will be with the other sweeteners (sugar, powdered sugar, etc.). Hope that helps!
