Tricia told me about a website called Green Monster Movement. It's all about spinach smoothies. I had always thought I needed a Vitamix blender to be able to blend greens. She tried it out and reported back that it blended just fine in a regular blender. So, I got out the ingredients for the basic smoothie and hit the button. With a very fast whirr of the blades, I had a green drink. Surprisingly, it is delicious. Banana is great at masking other flavors. The recipe I used is:
Virgin Green Monster
- 2 cups spinach
- 1-1 1/4 cups milk (I used cow's milk, but you can use any type - soy, almond, rice, etc)
- 1 tablespoon of ground flax
- 1 banana
- ice
Natalie and Daniel liked it too. Daniel really liked it, Natalie thought it was ok. She isn't a huge banana fan, but at least she gave it a try. It's funny the face she gave when I showed it to her and asked if she wanted to try it. I think because Daniel gave out a great big "I do", she decided she wasn't going to be outdone and was also surprised it was ok. Natalie ended up with just a regular mustache. Daniel had a whole mouth mess and the more he drank, the bigger it got. He was even trying to lick his lips.
The next time I make it, I'm going to put in some blueberries. I think that should be good too. Five thumbs up and three smiles for The Green Monster!
