smoothie help for the culinary idiot

[OakLeaf]

Edit: I did the math. 8 cups of raw spinach for one ounce of steak, or 64 cups of raw spinach for the same protein as an 8 ounce steak.

I admit I'm as bad as anyone in terms of eating calorie-dense foods, except that I rarely eat meat. But we go on and on about how we need to get most of our calories from vegetables, and animal products and grains should be side dishes.... and when it comes down to it, nobody's willing to. It IS a lot of work. I know I mentioned in another thread that spinach is the one vegetable I buy frozen in preference to fresh, and there you have the reason. Those 8 cups of raw spinach is less than 1 cup cooked, which is a perfectly normal sized portion, which I'm happy to eat several times a week.

Plus, an 8-oz steak?! I know that's a restaurant sized serving, but a "healthy eating" portion would be THREE ounces, once a week or less.
