Mary’s Green Monster:

This is one of the easiest and one of my favorite smoothie recipes!! I call it the GO GREEN smoothie because I made it first at my Mom’s place and we loaded it with greens!

Smoothies are so easy to make and easy to pack tons of wondering nutrient rich ingredients into! They taste delicious, are quick portable too. No worries about missing breakfast if you whip this up the night before and keep in the fridge. Just put it back on the blender and spin a few times to mix it in the morning and off you go!

Ingredients:

2 Cups of spinach

2 Cups of frozen Tropical Mix fruit

2 Cups of fresh Blueberries

1/2 C. of Rice Dream rice milk

1 packet of Electro Mix, electrolyte sport mix

Hi Angela!

Here’s my Pineapple Strawberry Banana Green Monster:

2 Large handfuls of spinach
1/2 cup frozen pineapple
1/2 cup frozen strawberries
1/2 ripe, frozen banana
1 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 Tbsp chia seeds
1 Tsp coconut oil
1 scoop Amazing Grass drink powder

Throw it all in the blender and blend away!  I’ve been drinking GMs for about 4 weeks now and I’ve noticed a HUGE increase in my energy, especially in the mornings! I used to drink a couple cups of coffee to start my day, but I’ve noticed that I have no desire or need to drink even a single cup after having the GM.  I love love love my GMs!!

Thank you for inspiring so many people to live healthier lives! Have a wonderful evening!

Emily’s Green Monster:

I’ve been juicing for almost one month now, and thought I’d break out the ol’ blender and see what kind of concoction I could come up with.  I actually surprised myself with how unadventurous I was (forgive me–i had the first time heebie jeebies).

4 big leaves of Kale
1/3 fresh mango
1/2 one peach
1/2 frozen banana
3 small frozed strawberries
dollop of rice milk (sorry, didn’t measure)
ground flax seed
1 tsp “better n’ peanut butter”
ummm—this was absolutely amazing.  My blender is no Vita Mix, so you can still see some of the berry residue (which i actually didn’t mind at all).  I’m so pleased to announce that my first interaction with the Monster left me wanting more, more, more!

Thanks for all your suggestions!! can’t wait to experiment further!

Morgan’s Green Monster:

I discovered green monsters through the blog world, and though my family thinks its a little strange, I drink one most mornings after my workout.   I like knowing I am sneaking in some veggies, even though I can’t taste them.  I like using spinach, so I get a little extra iron since I don’t eat any meat!  This one was a last minute inspiration this morning, which I loved.  I rarely drink juice, but the OJ was calling to me!

-1 banana
-6 strawberries
-2 tsp. chia gel
-1 scoop Amazing Grass Green Superfood
-handfuls of spinach
-about half a cup OJ (the real stuff!)
-6 ice cubes.

I like to blend everything up, then add my ice cubes in last.  I also always taste every smoothie I make, and sometimes add in some agave!

Meggi’s Green Monster:

I had heard about putting spinach in smoothies for MONTHS and honestly thought it sounded absolutely rivolting!!  Until I finally broke down and tried it for myself–what can I say?? Like so many others, I was hooked!!!!!!!

Here’s today’s recipe:

3 cups spinach
1 banana
1/2 cup pineapple
1/2 cup strawberries
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp cinnamon
1 scoop Wheatgrass powder (from Amazing Grass)
1 scoop Chocolate Whey protein
2 T coconut oil
1/3 cup coconut milk
2/3 cup almond milk
1-2 cups crushed ice

I always jam pack my blender FULL of spinach & fruits, today was no different! 🙂

Natalie’s Green Monster:

I recently started to increase my raw food intake this summer and I feel incredible! I’m not 100% raw and probably never will be but I love love love healthy raw food (and healthy cooked food). I came across ohsheglows one day on twitter and love to check your update and see all the delicious things you are cooking. On a day that I was trying to decide what to have for breakfast I noticed you green monster and thought – yuuuummm. I’ve been making the classic green monsters in the morning and I really can’t believe how great they are! Delicious and I have energy all day long. I’m always so surprised how long it takes me to actually get hungry again. Thanks so much for this delicious yet nutritious shake!
The other day I slept at a friends house and didn’t have the regular ingredients so I just winged it! It turned out very yummy 🙂 Here’s my recipe:

Blue-Green Monster
2 cups spinach
1/2 cup blueberries
1 cup almond milk
a few almonds (they added some fun texture)

Laura’s Green Monster:

This green monster is a simple one – 50% fruits, 50% vegetables, and fruit juice!

 This one has fresh spinach, sugar snap peas, apples and grape juice.

So refreshing and light and healthy! Love it!

Tamie’s Green Monster:

My Green Monster addiction started a couple of months ago, when a dear friend of mine was blogging about them.  I was thoroughly intrigued, and b/c she has inspired me like crazy, I figured it must be good if she loves them!

So I have tried a few different ways, and sometimes they are purple, and sometimes green, but this is one of my faves right now!

3 cups baby spinach
1/2 cup cantaloupe
handful of strawberries
1 banana
flax seed
splash of milk
ice

Very yummy, very pretty, and gives me energy for hours!!

YAY for Green Monster lovers! 🙂
