Alex<\/a>‘s Green Monster:<\/strong><\/p>\nJust thought I’d hop on the bandwagon and write a little ditty about my love affair with the swamp juice! I’ve always been a smoothie lover, but perhaps not the most healthy kind (McFlurries = smoothies… right?). I stumbled on Green Monsters through a blog of a blog of a blog… (that’s how I find everything these days!) and thought I would try it. Spinach? Harmless enough- I wolfed it down in salads, how bad could it be in a smoothie? I’ve tinkered with it a bit here and there, but finally have a recipe that I rock in the Magic Bullet (an appliance I stole from my mother specifically for GMs) every morning.<\/p>\n
It is a struggle to fit all the delish ingredients in that little thing, but each morning, I cram in: 1 cup of almond milk, 1 scoop North Coast Naturals vanilla protein powder, 1\/2 cup of blueberries, \u00a0about 1 banana sliced up and frozen, a healthy glob of peanut butter, all natural, and about 2 cups of spinach (as much as I can fit before the thing overflows!)Yum!<\/p>\n
Everyone at work is verrrrry skeptical. I spilled it on my desk one day and\u00a0 the IT guy in my office looked at it like it was some odd creature. They don’t believe me when I say it tastes good!<\/p>\n
The picture above my frozen naners, set to be thrown into the blender though! I slice up the super ripe babies and spread them out on wax paper and freeze them on a cookie sheet. Then they all go into a big freezer bag for easy morning grabbing. My little Magic Bullet can’t take a full banana! Grr- I think the MB days are numbered, to be replaced by a blender\/food processor.<\/p>\n
I am hooked for life.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Alex‘s Green Monster: Just thought I’d hop on the bandwagon and write a little ditty about my love affair with the swamp juice!
