Default Green Smoothies? What's the deal on these?? +++

Sorry to be a board hog tonight .. I feel like I'm way-overposting and probably about to drive everyone bonkers!

I recently read something on the fly about "green smoothies" .. apparently they're claim to fame is being a nutritional powerhouse in a glass, so I'm a little intrigued .. so a few questions ..

I loathe spinach .. but that or kale seems to be the go-to "green" element of a green smoothie .. just sounds odd .. some sort of fruit, ice/water and spinach? Sounds a little"off" .. but is it really unnoticeable as i've heard a few people say as much?

Also hearing aside from the nutritional benefits .. that they're pretty good at stopping crappy food cravings, something that I'm definitely trying to overcome right now that's really tripping me up nutritionally. Any truth to that claim?

Any fans of green smoothies that have some simple but tasty or at least tolerable recipes in case I get the cajones to test drive one of these bad boys?
