Green Monster

I did it, I jumped on the Green Monster bandwagon. Who would've though a green smoothie would taste good? But it sure does! The Green Monster if you're unaware is a concoction of this:

Ingredients:
2 Cups Raw Baby Spinach
1 Cup Almond Milk
1 Banana
Optional: 1 Tbsp Ground Flax Seed
Ice

And the best part, you can't taste the spinach AT ALL! Aside from the green color, you'd never know it was a part of the drink. Making this smoothie packed with vitamins and nutrients. Ever since I bought my cute little Bella Cucina rocket blender, I've been a smoothie making machine!

    I think I need to try this. I need the iron and the protein and to not have cookie crisps for breakfast. It would be an awesome alternative! =)

    This looks pretty tasty and it's nice to know it doesn't take like spinach.

    I keep hearing how you can't taste the spinach at all, but I have still been hesitant to jump on the band wagon -- I hate spinach. Maybe I will have to give it a go...

    Doesn't Bella Cucina make fun stuff? I got their mini cupcake maker and love it!! Not healthy, of course, but still fun.
