Vegetables may not be everyone's go-to food choice, but drinking leafy greens—instead of eating them—is a neat little trick to get your nutrients in. The best part? You can add plenty of all-natural sweeteners like fruits or stevia to make it all the more enjoyable. Check out this recipe for a tropical spinach shake you can enjoy this summer!
