Popeye's Ice Cream
This recipe was in the Costco Connection magazine and was just begging to be tried! It didn't disappoint. Without the mighty Vitamix, it didn't have the consistency of ice cream but it was a delicious and healthy smoothie/breakfast drink that I'll definitely make again!
3/4 c half and half or coconut milk
1/4 c agave nectar
2/3 c nonfat powdered milk
2 c spinach, lightly packed
1 1/2 T vanilla
2 1/2 c ice cubes
Add ingredients to a blender pitcher and secure lid. For Blentec models, press "Ice Cream" and serve. For other blenders, blend at medium speed for 20 seconds, then on high for 25 seconds or until smooth. Makes 3 3/4 cups.
Each 1/2 c serving:
