So, I like a recipe that has versatility built into it. Nothing in my repertoire is as versatile as a smoothie. And one such smoothie has caught my tastebuds and my heart. That would be the Lean Mean Green Monster.<\/p>\n<p>I have a few basics that I always use in my little monsters: chocolate, fruit and a leafy green. Spinach is my favorite green, and it&#8217;s conveniently purchasable frozen and fresh. My top fruit choices are banana and mango, since they add to the creaminess. And chocolate, my oh my, do I love chocolate. Usually I toss in a scoop of vegan protein powder with some extra cocoa to really kick it up. Here&#8217;s my classic post-workout green monster:<\/p>\n<p>Ingredients:<br \/>\n1\/2 banana<br \/>\n1\/2 c. non-dairy milk<br \/>\n1\/2 c. water<br \/>\n1 c. frozen spinach<br \/>\n1 scoop chocolate protein powder (currently loving Sunwarrior)<br \/>\n1 Tbs. cocoa powder<br \/>\n4-6 ice cubes<\/p>\n<p>Directions:<br \/>\n1. Put all ingredients in blender.<\/p>\n<p>2. Blend.<\/p>\n<p>3. Drink up. Try to avoid a brain freeze. Ahhh, Yum!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I get bored easily &#8211; in the kitchen, in the gym, with my hair. So, I like a recipe that has versatility built into it.
