Green Monster Smoothie Recipe

Green Monster Smoothie Recipe

Green Monster Smoothie

 

This week I decided that I was going to drink a green monster smoothie every morning for breakfast.

Breakfast and I do not get along. I have always hated eating breakfast. I know this isn't good for my body. Matter of fact truth be told sometimes I go all day until about 3 or even 4  pm with out eating a thing.

You and I both know this isn't a good thing.

Last weekend I came across a blog with tons of green monster smoothie recipes. I just happen to have some frozen banana's in the freeze. Matter of fact I had almost all the ingredients to make a green monster except for the spinach or kale. After reading some comments about how the kale was a stronger flavor and if you used baby spinach leaves you didn't taste it I decided to go with the spinach.

I had my husband pick some up from the store and the next morning I made my first green monster. It wasn't bad so I decided I could make myself drnk one for breakfast every morning. That was on Sunday so Monday was the day to begin my new breakfast routine.

Mondays are hectic around here and I had my first Green Monster smoothie FAIL. I totally forgot about making one until about noon.

I decided to skip it that day and begin today on Tuesday.

Today is the day. I mixed one up. This is what I used today. My recipes are probably going to change daily. I'll use what I have on hand and then replenish the supplies as I need to.

This recipe will make one serving green smoothie.

    I hate to eat breakfast too - that's why smoothies are so great, it's just like having a drink but packed with nutrition. I love spinach in smoothies too, you'd think it would have a strong flavour but it actually doesn't!
