For over 7 months, I've been following Angela of Oh She Glows make her famous Green Monster smoothies. Two months ago, I decided to try making one for myself. I now make them almost daily and miss them when I don't drink them. I've got my 4.5 year old and 1 year old drinking them too (not much success with my second born though). They like them. The 4.5 year old drinks them because of the name (think The Hulk). I've even got my mother drinking them and she likes them a whole lot. I use whatever fruits/vegetables I've got in the fridge but the main ingredient is always baby spinach (organic, of course) hence the "green" part of Green Monster. Here's yesterday's combination:
2 large handfuls organic baby spinach
1 frozen banana
1/2 C fresh blueberries
1 small apple, cored and diced
1/3 C vanilla yogurt
1/3 C POM juice
Blend until smooth. I don't mind my smoothies being on the thick side, but if it is too thick, I would add milk (soy, almond or 2%) but I don't think it would go with this combo so I would add water or juice.
Just go crazy with your Green Monster. You can't really go wrong with just the basic: spinach, banana, milk (my mom's favorite). You can even throw in supplements, protein powders, nut butters, flax seeds, veggies. I say, trial and error to find what you like. CHEERS! Angela of Oh She Glows is having a contest open to Canadians only until Thursday, July 9 at noon. You could win an amazing Neal Brothers prize pack. Go to Oh She Glows to see the prize pack and find out how you can enter the contest. Good luck.
