Karoline’s Green Monster:

So I will be the first to admit that I need to do a better job of eating my green leafy vegetables.  The Green Monster was something that I was initially hesitant about.  I mean I love spinach and all, but spinach and banana together? Nuh uh.

I changed up the recipe a little bit and added a scant spoonful of peanut butter to the mix.

Ingredients:

1 big handful spinach

1/2 cup frozen tropical fruit

1/2 frozen banana

3/4 cup(ish) lite soymilk

2 tsp peanut butter

Verdict?  A-. The addition of the peanut butter really helped with the taste and not only smoothed out the spinach flavor but also added a richness and creaminess.  This plus some whole grain crackers kept my tummy happy for about four hours!
