Drinkable Salad

I hopped on the green-smoothie bandwagon.
Recently, I read an article in TIME magazine that suggested adults need 8 servings of fruits and vegetables a day instead of the recommended 5. I love my veggies, but it's tough to get even 5 servings in, let alone 8! What to do, what to do.
A friend suggested a green smoothie, which thing I had mocked before.
Today I made my first one like this:
2 cups spinach
1 cup peaches
1 banana
1/2 cup fat free yogurt
tiny bit of water
2 tsp splenda
It sounds gross and looks like guacamole, but the taste isn't bad. And 4 whole servings of F&V.
Anyone out there try green smoothies? What's your favorite thing to sneak in there?
