I remember you talking about some sort of green breakfast smoothie awhile back....would you share the recipe with me?

Thanks!

Yes! It's a green monster smoothie. The basic recipe is:

1 banana

1c. milk

1-2c. spinach (I use fresh baby spinach, but some people use frozen)

1T flax seed

I also usually add peanut butter, but it's good without it too. You really can't taste the spinach so it's a good way to get in some leafy greens.

PEANUT BUTTER! I knew it had some kind of protein in there, but I could not come up with what it was. Yum yum yum. I'll be trying this shortly. Thank you so much!

Wait a sec! You don't put ice in it?

Instead of ice, we put frozen bananas (that we cut up), strawberries, whatever fruit you want. We also add plain yogurt as well. I LOVE this smoothie!!!

Maybe we should try it this way. We used the recipe off the website (with ice) and was not impressed! Actually we could only take a couple sips before we dumped it out. Maybe we'll have to change up the recipe a little.
