Tamara’s Green Monster

I have always loved smoothies, but it didn’t occur to me until I saw this site to add a serving of vitamin-packed veggies to it. I tried my first Green Monster just last week, and now I can’t go a day without one!

I like my smoothies cold and thick, so I freeze all the solids in my favorite recipe. It takes a strong blender and a lot of patience, but the result is the closest thing to a healthy milkshake you can get. Instead of breakfast, I make it for dessert :p

-1 cup frozen spinach
-1/2 a frozen banana
-1/2 cup frozen fruits (I use a mix of pineapples, mangoes, peaches and strawberries)
-1 cup light plain soy milk
-a drizzle of honey
