I love green smooties/green monsters. They’re refreshing and tasty! You’ve probably seen them on here quite a bit. Yesteryday my brother in law requested a recipe for my green smoothie. So here is my version of the Green Monster:
1 Ripe Banana (the riper the better)
2 handfuls of Spinach
4-5 Frozen Strawberries
1 tbsp Almond Butter
about 1 cup of water
2 or 3 ice cubes
Put it all in the blender and blend for about 1 minute or two. Serve and enjoy!
But a one more thing… Honestly though, I usually keep adding spinach until I get the right color so it may be more or less than 2 handfuls. I like to be a bright green color. You should make it and see what tasted best to you. I also like mine kind of runny, not thick like a smoothie, that grosses me out for some reason. If you want it thicker freeze the banana and add more ice.
Everyone probably makes their’s extremely different from how I do.
What’s your favorite green smoothie/green monster recipe??
I love green monsters as well but mostly use 1 cup soy milk, 1 banana, 2 handfuls of spinach, 1 tbsp almond butter, 3 ice cubes, 1 tbsp flax seeds.
I make mine with hempmilk, vanilla brown rice protein powder, spinach, and frozen berries.
Do you find protein powder to make a really gritty smoothie??
