Hi there!
My name is Angela and I am the creator of the Green Monster Movement!
Wait, what is a Green Monster, anyways?
My healthy living website, Oh She Glows, is where I first started writing about my first shot at making a green smoothie, that I calledĀ ‘Green Monster’. Let’s just say my first attempts did not turn out that great! š
Now, I blend together kale or spinach, milk (almond or soy), fruit, seeds, powders, etc. and come up with some amazing Green Monster drinks! I have noticed a HUGE increase in my energy, along with a decrease in cravings for sweets. My skin hasĀ also become more clear and my hair and nails started growing like weeds!
Since my first posts on the Green Monster inĀ January 2009, hundreds of readers have emailed me telling me that they too have tried green monsters and they are now hooked! The response has been HUGE online and offline. I have readers in Japan, Ireland, Australia, and other countries around the world drinking Green Monsters and finding a renewed sense of energy and ‘glow’ in their day to day lives.
I started this webpage in July 2009Ā because I couldn’t keep up with posting reader’s green monsters on my website, Oh She Glows. I hope that this website will be a place where Green Monster fans can unite, getĀ inspired, and try out new recipes! I also hope to post my own GreenĀ Monsters on here as well as try out new product reviews.Ā
I hope you will submit your own Green Monster Story (and photo) so I can share it on this website!
Of course, the slogan that I came up with for the Green Monster Movement was a no-brainer:
We Like It Green.
Oh yes, yes, we do!
Help spread the word of the Green Monster Movement and inspire others in your life to achieve that healthy glow and vibrant energy!
Awesome site, Angela! I am now hooked on a daily Green Monster because of you–I love them! Thanks for creating a space where all the great ideas and recipes for them can be found. I’m excited to see this site grow!
LOVE THIS!!! What a fabulous idea. š
Okay, this makes me definitely want to try a Green Monster! I need to pick up some spinach and bananas!
What a fun idea. I am drinking one now!
GREAT IDEA! It’s funny because a Green Monster is my lunch which I’m happily drinking right now! I can’t thank you enough for turning me on to these suckers!
Great idea Angela!!! I actually just tried my first green monster yesterday. I kept it on the sweeter side, but I really enjoyed it!!
Green is definitely great! I have been drinking GMs for the past month and a half and I really enjoy them. When I’m out of baby spinach I start panicking. I love how you’ve named them “Green Monsters” because my 4.5 year old son drinks it (think Hulk). I tell him he better drink the Green Monster before the Green Monster drinks him. Even though he likes to drink them it makes it fun.
My Green Monster:
– 2 cups of spinach
– 1 tbsp of Hemp Seed Butter
– 1 cup of coconut water
– 1/2 cup of blueberries
– 1 frozen puck of wheatgrass
– 1/4 cup of balkan style yogurt
Great idea! I actually snuck a ton of spinach into a blender full of smoothie this morning, then fed half of it to The BF. He didn’t have a clue š
Great site! I am SO jealous of the green monsters you all are drinking! I wish I could afford to buy the stuff! š
