Green Monster Smoothie

I've been wanting to try a green smoothie for a while now but never had the courage to put spinach into a perfectly good smoothie. But when I found this recipe on pinterest it said that It "doesn't taste healthy at all" so i decided to give it a try. I absolutely loved it and you literally cannot taste the spinach at all. So before you just push this aside and decide not to try it, just trust me and give it a try. I had one for breakfast and I wasn't hungry again until 2 when I got off work. It was awesome!

Green Monster Smoothie

1 frozen sliced banana (peel and slice before you freeze or you'll be sorry)
1 Tbsp peanut butter
1/2 cup 0% or fat free vanilla greek yogurt (I use dannon)
1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk 
4 cups spinach (or more, or less)

Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth

  1. I have a green smoothie recipe that is banana, mixed berries and spinach. When I made it the spinach taste was still really strong. I'll have to adjust the amounts and try again. This looks good. I like the peanut butter.
