Sneaky spinach

I tried my first Green Monster back in March, and although it was tasty, I wasn't super impressed. But I still like the idea of adding more greens to my diet. I eat salads all the time, add spinach to pasta, wraps, eggs, and sammies, but still want to add more! I've heard greens are good for the skin and help with the glow, plus they give you energy.

My smoothie staple is frozen strawberries, a ripe banana, and freshly squeezed orange juice. From experience, I know that spinach doesn't add that much flavor (it basically has no taste in a smoothie concoction) so I thought, why not add it to my regular smoothie??

The result?

It's ugly, but IT IS SO GOOD. All I can taste are the sweet strawberries, oranges, and banana.

Verdict: SUCCESS! I will be making this again. Very soon. I highly recommend it!

Green Monster Remix

1-2 c fresh spinach
1 frozen ripe banana
1 c frozen strawberries
6-8 small navel oranges, freshly squeezed, pulp and all
(enough juice to almost cover the fruit and spinach)

Blend until smooth.This actually made a good 20 oz (the glass shown above plus another small glass). I just finished drinking it all and I feel great! Ready to conquer this day...
