I love to make Green Monster smoothies and wanted to share the recipe:
Ingredients
1 cup almond milk
1 banana
2 or 3 cups of spinach
two handfuls of ice
Put all the ingredients in the blender and mix on high.
You cannot taste the spinach I promise! You will have to try it before you believe me. They are so yummy and give you a ton of energy. Almond milk is found on the shelf at Brookshire’s, Wal-Mart, or Drug Emporium, it’s not in the cold milk section. Sometimes I change it up by using strawberry or chocolate milk, adding frozen cherries or blueberries, adding protein powder, or adding peanut butter. Also if you unpeel and break the banana up in pieces and freeze it beforehand they taste even better.
So if your wondering where I got my Popeye-like muscles now you know.
Such a tempting ‘baby poo’ color :)
Sorry, almond milk gives me diarrhea. Talk about a “Green Monster”. If I drank that thing, I’d be in the bathroom for a week.
you can use regular milk robert
No, I am lactose intolerant. Drink anything with milk and I have terrible cramps and gas.
One year I drank a glass of milk the night before the Whiterock marathon. I sounded like a lawnmower for about 18 miles.
i really hate to keep this going but the almond milk i have says lactose free and non-dairy
Hmmm, I wonder if this will be at our next Striders happy hour!! Maybe some nice, bright, cancer-causing red food dye would help things out….
My husband, a friend and I tried this last night. We went with the original receipe first and it was too bland for us then we added honey and it was really good.
Thanks for sharing Katie!
ooh yum good idea!
