{here's to your health!}If you give a post-preggo lady a cookie, you'd better have her wash it down with a green monster smoothie. My brother and sister-in-law got Jefe and I drinking these because supposedly they'll make us healthier people. They are loaded with veg and fruit, and to be honest we've only made 3 varieties that are actually yummy, which means we've been drinking a lot of yucky swamp water around here with a scowl and a toast to eternal life, then a "bottoms up!"
Green monster smoothies are really quite good for you though, so if you're interested in giving them a shot, I recommend checking out this website for ideas and tips on how to make a good one.
Here's what we like the most:
1 1/2 C almond milk (prefered to cow's milk because it has more flavor)
2 -3 large handfuls spinach
3 leaves of kale, stemmed
1 C frozen strawberries
1 tablespoon scoop frozen orange juice concentrate (we use a regular large spoon for this)
1/2 frozen banana
Layer ingredients in blender in listed order. Blend away. Like really. Blend it VERY WELL. Or else it will have the texture of liquid salad. Serves 2, or more if you don't want a large glass of veggies :)
Drink your vegetables!
