Angie’s ‘Not-so-Green’ Monster

One afternoon, after grocery shopping, I decided to make my own green monster….it seems to be the coolest smoothie right now! Working as a dietitian, I actually first made a green smoothie with spinach a few years ago for a wellness camp for kids – we called it “Groovy Green Smoothie” and we were all surprised that it was so good…but I haven’t made one since…so I decided that I would try one today.

Ingredients:
I used 1-cup frozen mixed berries (blueberries, blackberries, and strawberries), one banana, 1 cup vanilla almond breeze, and 2 handfuls of spinach

I think the purple color from the berries was just overpowering…so, Anthony and I each enjoyed a Purple Monster. It still tasted really good and I loved the health benefits of the greens.
