Green Monster smoothies?
Is anyone into these? I just made my first one this morning, and it's really yummy. I used plain Greek yogurt, vanilla flavored almond milk, peanut butter, a frozen banana, spinach, and a little bit of ice.
Any particularly good recipes I should try?
Re: Green Monster smoothies?
I responded on fb, but in case anyone else cares I'll answer here too. I love one banana, fresh strawberries, spinach and water. It's more like juice in consistency but I like it.
Yes!!! I love these things. I make mine almost exactly the same as you, but I add a little protein powder and some ground flax seed to bulk it up and get some extra omega-3s. A super ripe banana gives it the perfect amount of sweetness. I drink one almost every day in the summer.
No, I just got bagged baby spinach.
I may try this one. I need a non-peanut butter recipe.
Heather - you may want to try adding sunflower seed butter (if you like it). My cousin is deathly allergic to nuts too and she eats this stuff. I imagine it would just help give it a smoother (more milkshake-like...I won't dare say the C-word) consistency.
The kind I make has no spinach taste whatsoever. I think the PB and banana mask it completely. Making sure the banana has some brown spots is key though. I typically like to eat a banana that is slightly under-ripe...but it definitely doesn't translate to a tasty smoothie.
My little nuggets
Personally, I cannot stand the taste of spinach. I have tried it a hundred different ways, and this is the best way for me to have it.
got it..so its a way to get in veggies. good stuff.

Exactly. So I end up getting 2 fruit servings and 1 veggie serving before I even start my day. I have been slacking with them and I feel more energetic when I have them. I usually make them the night before and put it in one of my hubs' protein shakers and then just shake it up in the morning.
