Good Morning!..I guess its not really the morning anymore because its almost 11 but whatevs
So yesterday after my Bodyrock day 2, week 2 workout (WOOF it was hard), I made myself a delicious Green Monster Smoothie using these ingredients
In the blender (well in this case my mini food processor because I don’t have a blender in my apartment..this WILL be changing soon) went 3/4 scoop vanilla protein powder (I buy mine from Trader joes), 1 tsp almond butter, 1 banana (frozen), 1 1/2 cup spinach, and about 1 cup vanilla almond milk
See those pretty green speckles?! I have to admit at first I was hesitant to try a Green Monster..because well drinking spinach in a smoothie is a little bizarre..but I’m telling you, you can’t taste the spinach at all and it packs so much nutrition in a smoothie!
I slurped this smoothie down in no time..and it kept me full forevsss..and by that I mean 3 hours
Make this NOW
Green Monster Smoothie
Makes 1 large smoothie
Ingredients:
- 3/4 of a scoop vanilla whey protein power (or apx 2 tbsp)
- 1 tsp almond butter (or peanut butter)
- 1 frozen banana
- 1 1/2 cup baby spinach

Instructions: Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth! Add more almond milk as needed. Note: If your banana is not frozen, add in a few ice cubes to make the smoothie nice and cold!

Happy Friday!

Nice smoothie, it looks delicious! I love the almond butter or peanut butter added, I’ve never done that! I love smoothies. I love lots of spinach and cucumber. Have a great weekend!
Yummm I had a green monster yesterday! I never get tired of those!
I love GMs! My favorite is with Kefir, a frozen banana, and either green apple or peaches! I’m trying mango in one soon though
mmm mango sounds like it will be an amazing addition!
I love green smoothies. It’s always funning seeing someone’s reaction when you tell them how much spinach is in one, but you can’t taste it at all!
lol I know my rooommate was like thats gross!
Green monster smoothies are the JAM. I lovvvveeee using a frozen banana and peanut butter..they taste like milkshakes to me!
I eat one of these almost every day after I do bodyrock! Pretty much the same ingredients too, except for I put one chobani yogurt in and use regular skim milk. Sooo Yummmmm!
