Its called a green monster. Seriously, Google it. The possibilities are endless!
Okay, I totally get that it looks unappealing. I assure you, it's delicious. The basic green monster is spinach (I promise you can't taste it), a banana (I use frozen; it adds a nice chill without the chunkiness of ice and makes the smoothie a bit thicker), flax (optional, but always good for Omega-3s!), and milk - whatever kind makes you happiest; I use unsweetened vanilla almond milk.
The green monster is completely fabulous in its most primitive form, but I generally add some berries, 1/2 of a mango, or peeled apples (don't worry, I eat the peel while I'm anxiously awaiting my smoothie to blend) - you really can add whatever you like. If I am having it as a breakfast or post workout smoothie - I add a scoop of protein powder to it so that I stay full longer. Sometimes I'll just have a bowl of oatmeal in the morning and then drink a basic green monster as my 'coffee'. Its full of so much nutrition and deliciousness, that it wakes you right up and makes you feel good.
Start your day off right with some green deliciousness! :)
Katie,
ReplyDeleteI'm soo happy you started a blog. I have lost weight, but not nearly as rapidly or as consistently as you; so someone I actually know writing a blog will definitely be motivation! You look amazing and I can't wait to read and hopefully incorporate into my life all the great things that you have to give guidance on! Keep it up!
PS: since I love spinach, I'm making this smoothie in the AM! :)
Thanks, girl! I really hope this blog helps you! If you have any questions or something you'd like me to post about, just lemme know. Also, let me know how you like the green monster and what you put in it! :)
