Slime Smoothie (The Green Smoothie)

That is right!  A green looking smoothie.  To me it looks more of the slime off of slime time live from my younger years.  (I think that I just dated myself!)
You know you are a 90's kid
when you would never miss this 
show!

Well I am trying to have a high fiber, high fruit and veggie diet!  So I decided a smoothie a day may keep the pounds a way.  Therefore, I hit the internet looking for a healthy smoothie.  That was when I came across the Green Monster Smoothie.

Is it breakfast yet?


A smoothie that combines peanut butter, bananas and spinach --  I AM SOLD!

Here are the ingredients:

1 Frozen Banana
1 cup of milk (I used Almond milk cause I feel bad all day when I drink regular milk)
1 cup non fat yogurt
1 tbs of peanut butter
4 oz of spinach (Mmm spinach!)

When I was a kid,
Popeye couldn't get me near
Spinach with a 6 foot pole!


Combine all ingredients in to a blender and ENJOY!
I bought this Blender TODAY!
Of course it's pink.  




** Make the night before, throw in the fridge and you have a breakfast on-the-go in the morning.  Perfect for this Busy Girl

VERDICT:

So this morning at 7 am I grab this smoothie out of my fridge.  As I drank it I could taste it's perfection running down my throat.  I only drank half of it till I was full! Therefore the other half is for tomorrow morning.  This smoothie made me full and actually gave me energy throughout the morning at work.  I have anemia so I am sure the iron from the spinach helped kick-start my day.
