I started experimenting with green monsters when I first began following your blog a few months ago.  I’ve tried a lot of different combinations, but I always come back to the most basic one…and I love it!!!  Thanks so much for the idea, and also for sharing about Amazing Grass.  AG has intensified the benefits of my green monster exponentially!!

My favorite recipe:
1.25 cups light soy milk
two huge handfuls spinach
1 scoop amazing grass
one small handful blueberries
ice

My husband surprised me by making me this gm one morning!

I love green monsters and my boyfriend drinks them too!!! My favourite is: 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, a whackload of spinach, 1 organic banana, 1/4 C of organic berries ( raspberry and blueberrry are divine!) 1 tbsp flaxseed, annd 1 tbsp of almond butta. Soooo good. Sometimes I leave the berries out.. “classic” is really good 🙂 His fave is: Optimum nutrition vanilla protein, 1 organic banana, whackload of spinach, 2% milk, flaxseed, and berries! Best discovery everrr! 🙂

Hi Angela,
I found your site this week and I think I have devoured almost the entire site 🙂
I am 37 yrs old and have battled weight my entire life! I have done every diet, gimmick etc that is out there……I always loose some weight but then rebound eat and gain some if not all back! I finally hit my rock bottom and decided to implement the clean eating rules that I have known all along but just couldn’t seem to get a handle on! Silly because I can work out 5-6 days a week, run races, etc but just wasn’t able to wrap my head around the principles of clean eating to once and for all lose the 20 or so pounds I’ve been hanging on to…..then along came Oh She Glows into my life and viola! the lightbulb went off!
Anyway, I am getting sidetracked here……..I was SO skeptical of the green monster! I love spinach but in a shake?!? Come on!! Now that was just TOO healthy, earthy, granola-y for me!! But I gave it a shot!  Today after kickboxing at the gym, I ran to the store and picked up all the ingredients…..I decided I would try the “Classic” Green Monster since I was in doubt. I mixed everything up in the order you suggested, poured it in my fancy glass and slowly took a tiny sip……..Holy Cow!!!!! This stuff is GOOD, YUMMY and REFRESHING!! And it stopped my hunger pangs!! I can say with confidence that I am a Green Monster convert and soon to be addict!! Thank you so much!! I hope you enjoy the pictures!!
 
Recipe: Classic Green Monster
2c spinach
1T flax
1C almond milk
1 banana
 
P. S. I can’t wait for the bonus benefits of extra energy, great skin and hair!!

I am a newbie on the Green Monster scene.  My first Green Monster was made with Angela’s recipe for first-timers, and it was DELICIOUS!  However, the flax didn’t agree with my stomach.  I REALLY didn’t want to give up on these new powerhouses, so I tried again.  This time, I eliminated the flax seed and added some chocolate.  Oh my gosh!  It was so good….like a healthy, breakfast milkshake. Yum!  I am definitely on the Green Monster bandwagon and can’t wait to keep experimenting with new flavors!
Recipe:
 – 1 Frozen Banana
 – Large Handful Spinach
 – 1 Cup Milk
 – about 1/3 Cup of Nasoya Dark Chocolate Silken Creations
THANKS!

Green Margarita Monster
 
2 cups baby spinach
1 cup soy milk
1/2 cup blueberries
1 tsp flax seeds
1 tsp wheat germ
1 tsp coconut oil
1 squeeze of a lime wedge

This actually was my very first Green Monster and I have to say I am amazed at how delicious this was!!!  Not at all what I was expecting!  I thought this one was perfect as I was sitting poolside enjoying the beautiful summer day!  I can’t wait until tomorrow to make a new Green Monster! 
Cheers!
 
Have a great day!
