Classic Green Monster Smoothie

2 Comments

Green-Monster

If the 15 year old me could only see me now.. drinking spinach. I would have had my jaw on the floor, that’s for sure.

This smoothie, though – it’s amazing. Chock full of nutritious and delicious ingredients, it’s a surefire way to drink yourself happy!

This recipe is totally customizable, too. Use what you have on hand, but I always suggest a green (kale works well) and a banana (for creaminess), at least. If I really feel like something sweet, I will add in 2-3 dates as well. Or some agave. Or maybe syrup. You get the idea.

Have you had your green monster smoothie today?

Strawberry Banana Coconut Smoothie

I had about a cup of coconut milk leftover from a recipe and decided to throw it into my smoothie the other day – and, well, my mind was blown. Why has no one ever told me to put coconut milk into a smoothie before? It’s ridiculously good!

I’ve made this smoothie twice now, and the second time I made it, I added a handful of spinach as well. It didn’t look as pretty, but it tasted just as good, and gave me added nutrients from the spinach!
