recipes-018Erika’s Green Monster:

I think my story is similar to a lot of others.  I love making smoothies, but typically would stick to frozen fruits with some lemon juice for tartness.  But as I started poking around blogs, I began noticing the Green Monsters.  Completely intrigued and already won over by Green Lemonade with my juicer, I decided to jump in feet first and try one.  Love at first taste!  My version tastes so decadant, I feel like I am drinking a milkshake, not something healthy!  I have yet to try too many different versions because I am definitely a creature of habit, but I will experiment, I promise!
(sorry no really measurements, I just dump!)
1 frozen banana
Unsweetened Chocolate Almond Breeze
1 medjool date
2 big handfuls of spinach
1/4 oats (thanks to Iowa Girl)
Almond Butter
Chia Seeds (love, love, love these)

This reminds me of a chocolate peanut butter milkshake and I fill my HUGE travel mug to the top and drink it on my long commute to work.  It is better than coffee at giving me energy and fills me up until my mid morning snack!
