Spinach, Berry and Banana Smoothie. Dairy, gluten and grain free!

I had this all typed out and then Eli pressed 'DELETE'.  So here it is again.

Aiming to increase our calcium intake from dairy-free sources, i came up with this smoothie.  Never been into smoothies, and I know there is still room for improvement but this is my starting block! This one is grain, dairy and gluten free! But with loads of calcium, good fats and antioxidants, its such a great snack and best of all the KIDS LOVED IT! Remember looks can be deceiving  it tastes much better than it looks!

30g spinach
1 celery stick

1. Chop these in Thermomix (or food processor) on speed 6.  Wipe down bowl and re do if necessary.

150g blueberries

2. Add these to TM or FP and mix on speed 8 for 5 seconds.

200g macadamia/almond milk

3. Add milk and milk throughly on speed 10 for 20 seconds.

40g maple syrup (optional)
