I started drinking Green Monster smoothies 3 years ago every single day. They have completely transformed my healthy habits and since a lot of people have asked for the recipe recently on both twitter and email I figured I would share this simple recipe with you today.
The recipe is very simple and a lot of the items are probably things you regularly keep on hand.
First and foremost you need a blender, vitamix or something like it.
1. Leafy Spinach: 2-3 handfuls
2. 1 Banana
3. 1 packet of Truvia Sweetener
4. 2-3 Large Strawberries(Fresh or Frozen)
5. 10-15 blueberries(Fresh or Frozen)
6. 1/2 cup of whichever Milk you prefer. I use skim.
7. Ice: This will vary if you used frozen berries
8. Add greek yogurt for extra protein
Mix and add a fun straw and put in a fun glass and there you have it 2 servings of veggies and 3 servings of fruit that completely tastes like a Strawberry Banana Smoothie!!! You dont taste spinach AT ALL!
Green Monsters are such a fantastic way to start your day and even have for a snack later in the day!
I love a green monster smoothie!! I use a bunch of different things based on what I have in the house when I make it. But I LOVE pineapple in there. And vanilla almond milk. Yum. 🙂
Thanks for posting! I’m always looking for good smoothie recipes. I’ve not bought into the juicing thing yet, so this is great!
