Ingredients:

 
• 2 (10-ounce) packages frozen spinach

• 2 tablespoons water
 

Directions:

 
1. Place spinach in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for about 7 minutes. Drain the spinach.
 
2. Puree the blueberries and spinach separately for about 1 minute, or until smooth texture is achieved.
 
3. Add the pureed spinach and blueberries to the blender with the lemon juice and water. Puree until a smooth texture is achieved. Add more water, as needed, to achieve a smooth texture.
 

Notes: Be careful to clean appliances and counters as you cook because the blueberries can stain light-colored countertops and appliances.
