Love the idea of these healthy ingredients in this recipe. Using spinach to make the mint ice cream green…genius. I love spinach. And I put it in my smoothies. You are right, you don’t taste it. This ice cream sounds delicious and refreshing. And so do the all the other recipes you linked. I have got to get on top of my weight before I get any bigger, though. And then maybe I can indulge!!
