I am sure you've read of the green monster movement and have partaken in a green monster or two. If you haven't, the example above should give you an example.
This is a chocolate cherry green smoothie:
2 c. baby spinach
1 c. almond milk
1/2 frozen cherries
1 banana
1 tbsp chocolate powder
1 tbsp peanut butter
1 tbsp honey
1/8 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp of cinnamon
This is not a meal replacement. I drink this and similar green monsters for my mid morning snack. Since drinking the green monster about a week and a half ago, I've not craved or wanted to drink my sugary lattes and dessert. I've been drinking one daily for about 12 days. Well, today I forgot my pumpkin-green smoothie in the fridge and indulged in a latte and pumpkin loaf from Starbucks. Sinful! I will drink it this evening as a snack before dinner.
Try one; you'll like it! And if you do let me know.
So have you ever consumed a green monster?

Question for you, did you find your latte overly sweet?
ReplyDeleteNope. I never find anything overly sweet, which is my problem. I am happy to be back onto the smoothie. I didn't miss a day, but I am very happy that it starts my day off right.
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog from another, I'm so glad I did! I also spend my days practicing law!
ReplyDeleteI love green monsters! This chocolate cherry one sounds amazing!

These sound good! I don't like cherries though. I would be interested in hearing more about your pumpkin recipe however. :)
