Description
Green Monster smoothies are beautiful to look at and delicious to drink. And if you’re not sold yet, they’re good for you, too! Drinking GM smoothies is the easiest way I know to get a vegetable serving in for the day. Also, I don’t typically add extra sweeteners to my smoothies, but I’ve included directions below in case you would like to add some to yours. 🙂
*Vegetarian, Vegan if you use vegan milk* Serves 1
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 – 2 cups loosely packed spinach (or sub 1/4 cup frozen spinach or sub kale)
- 1 banana (a frozen banana will give you a thicker consistency, but non-frozen works, too)
- 1 cup milk of choice (dairy, non-dairy, vanilla non-dairy, etc.)
- 2 cubes ice
- sweetener of choice, to taste, optional (liquid sweeteners, like honey or agave, will work best)
Instructions
- Place spinach, banana, milk, and ice in the blender.
- Cover and blend until banana/ice is processed and smooth, about 1-2 minutes. Taste test and if desired, blend in sweetener of choice to taste.
- Enjoy!
Notes
This single serving recipe is easily multiplied to serve more!
