The Green Monster Smoothie


Today I wanted to share one bad mutha of a smoothie recipe. Sometimes called “The Green Monster” because of the bright green color, this smoothie is chock full of nutrients. Sure, the color is a little scary, but I personally could not taste the spinach in this, which was great. Ready for the recipe?

The Green Monster Smoothie
Makes 2-3 Smoothies

1 banana, cut in chunks
1 cup cling peaches
1 (6 ounce) container vanilla yogurt
1/2 granny smith apple, cored and chopped
1/2 cup juice of your choice
1 1/2 cups fresh spinach leaves

1. Place the banana, peaches, yogurt, apple, juice and spinach into a blender. Cover and blend until smooth, stopping frequently to push down anything stuck to the sides. Pour into glasses and serve.

  1. I'm so excited to make this–I actually have all necessary ingredients. It not only sounds delicious, but quite nutritious. I've been sneaking spinach into everything these days, and I can't wait to sneak it into this smoothie! Thanks!

  2. I am typically against all things smoothie because they appear to be healthy and foul tasting. But this one? Mmmmm. I really even like the green color!

  3. Wow, this is one daring smoothie! I've been making my boys a lot of smoothies lately though maybe I could sneak the spinach in there… hmm. Can you taste the spinach very much?

  4. Ok… you have me convinced. I'll give it a go! Thanks for sharing. Gosh it's so green… lol! No… I'm doing it.

  5. Oh how I love green monsters! Try adding a little bit of cilantro too, gives it a nice zesty lime kick! Thanks for sharing girl,
