Before I had my first green monster, I thought they looked gross and I had no intention of ever drinking one! Then, since I had some leftover spinach, I decided to try and ended up loving it!

Ingredients:

   * 1 tbsp chia seeds
   * 1 tbsp wheat germ + more to sprinkle
   * 2 cups spinach (raw or steamed)
   * 1 frozen banana
   * 5-6 pieces frozen mango
   * 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or your milk of choice)
   * 1 pinch cayenne chili pepper (optional)

  1. Put all the ingredients in a blender, in the order listed. Blend until smooth.
  2. Sprinkle with wheat germ and enjoy!

Hi Angela!

This is my FIRST EVER GREEN MONSTER!

Ingredients: 1 ½ cups hemp milk, 3 cups spinach, 1 cut-up frozen Persian cucumber, ¼ avocado; 1 T coconut butter, 3 ice cubes, 1T ground flax w/ chia, ½ scoop Amazing Grass = Thick and creamy, very mild tasting, AWESOME! 

 I had it 4 hours ago and I still feel full! Mmmm….. all that healthy fat 🙂 Can’t wait to experiment with more combinations!

Hey Angela!

I wanted to share a cute Green Monster story with you
My boyfriend has decided to try to ramp up his veggie intake.  That, couple with his recent diagnosis with anemia, has lead to me turning him into a GM convert!   He really likes them and has started making GMs in his magic bullet.  He even texted me a photo of one of his GM creations.
Of course, like a man, he tweaks the recipe to be more DARING.  Some extra peanut butter here.  A little protein powder there.  Well, today he tipped me off the the mother of all GM experiments. 
Verbatim email:

So I’ve invented a game with the green monsters called “how much spinach?”
It goes like this:
1. Make your normal green monster.
2. Have a sip.
3. If it tastes good, add more spinach.
4. Repeat steps #2 and 3 until it does not taste good.

He’s a regular mad scientist, I tell ya! 
Thought you’d appreciate.  Have a fantastic night!!
