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

Fruit Dip



My cohort at school is having an end of the year potluck and so I decided to bring fruit and fruit dip. I found this recipe on a blog and I decided to try it since it looked super easy. I figured this would be pretty hard to mess up. It's just 3 ingredients and all you do is mix it together. It turned out amazing!!! I love it. To bad its super unhealthy. It kinda cancels out the healthiness of the fruit you are dipping in it. Oh well. It tastes good and thats all that matters. Super Duper easy!

1- 8oz. pkg. cream cheese, softened
1- 7oz. Jar marshmallow creme
1/2 tsp. vanilla

Soften the cream cheese either by leaving it on the counter or microwaving it for 30 seconds on low power. Place all ingredients in a bowl, and with an electric mixer, beat until smooth. Serve with an assortment of fresh fruit. (My favorite is strawberries! Yum!) Makes 2 cups.

P.S. I hate marshmallow but love this dip. So TRY IT!
