Jennifer’s Green Monster:

I am really in love with Green Monsters, since drinking them every morning I find I do not need coffee!  I am totally awake and energized even after a hard early morning work out.  I love that I am getting fruits AND veggies in one place and they are especially perfect on these hot summer days!  My boyfriend’s mother brought us a bag of peaches so I figured I would throw them in my GM.  The peaches make the GMs so sweet and delicious!  I may need to freeze some peaches so I can make these in the dead of winter 🙂

1/2 frozen banana
1 peaches, chopped
1 cup milk
1 scoop Amazing Grass Wheatgrass powder
1 big handful of spinach
1 tablespoon of almond butter

Hi Angela,

My Green Monster has:

1 frozen banana
1 cup unsweetened soy milk
1 tablespoon of peanut butter
2 cups fresh spinach
1/2 cup of blueberries
1/4 teaspoon of flax seed

This is such a filling and delicious treat – it just tastes like peanut butter and banana.  In the mornings it really energizes me and keeps me satisfied for several hours.  Yum!

Aileen’s Green Monster:

Simplest GM ever:  Spinach, partially frozen banana for creaminess and coldness, almond milk and flax seeds.  Sorry… I drank it way to fast this morning to even remembe to take a picture of my bottle full!

Angela, I started making green monster in June when I first discovered your blog.

Laura’s Green Monster:

Hey Angela!  Here is the recipe:

1 packet Amazing Meal Chocolate Infusion
1 cup unsweetened almond breeze
1 TBSP. of flax meal
1 tsp. of Barney Butter
1/3 of a frozen, LARGE banana
Handful of blueberries and spinach
Handful of ice

This was my first time making a green monster and I am totally obsessed now! It tasted like a peanut butter cup chocolate milk shake! I even had my mom try it – I put it in a portable coffee mug so she wouldn’t see the color. My mom thinks I am a total weirdo for eating/drinking all of these health foods, but she loved it as well! She wanted me to make one for herself! Thanks for all of your inspiration, I look forward to reading your blog each and every day. I have struggled with some disordered eating in the past, and I was having a really bad day food-wise the other day. Of course I was moping around the house, upset about the choices I made earlier in the day. I went onto your blog and read your post about calorie counting and all of the negative, depressing thoughts I had going on in my head just disappeared. I had been trying to tally up everything that I had just eaten, but after reading your post, I was like “who cares!” I know what a healthy portion looks like, I know what my body needs. If I have one bad day its not the end of the world.

Thanks for this awesome giveaway!

Allie’s Green Monster:

Hi Angela,

Allie’s Green Colada Monster

1/2 cup pineapple
1/8 cup lite coconut milk
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 dollop of Greek yogurt
1/2 banana
2 tbsp ground flaxseed
3 cups spinach
water (if needed, to make it move!)
ice

My day is not the same without a green monster in my system!  I crave the nutrient rush that I get from them that sends me on my way every morning.  I love the classic GMs but sometimes when I’m in the mood for a Caribbean drink this definitely hits the spot. I love how versatile they are–pre-workout snack, post-workout snack, breakfast, afternoon pick me-up, dessert, you name it!  I tell everyone I know about these guys…and although they give me quirky looks, they later admit they love ’em (after they taste how amazing they are!). Thanks, Angela!
