Green Monster Smoothies

For about the past two months, Chris and I have been making smoothies for breakfast. I will post what we put in ours and if you'd like to try them, use ingredients that you like. I promise you, you cannot taste spinach in these. (Fresh spinach doesn't have a distinct flavor like the canned kind, anyway.) We also love these because they have so many food groups- fruit, veggie, grain, protein!

These are very filling and quick to make!

These measurements are estimated. I hardly ever measure this stuff! :) This is enough for two adults. If you have some leftover, you can put it in a glass and put it in the fridge and it's usually good for a few hours.

In a blender, combine:

2-3 cups loosely packed fresh spinach

1 scoop protein powder, french vanilla flavored

1 cup milk (whichever variety you buy)

1 banana (peeled, cut into chunks and frozen)

1 tablespoon peanut butter

1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

1/2 cup raw, uncooked old-fashioned oats

1-2 pitted dates

1 tablespoon agave nectar or honey

1 tablespoon ground flaxseed

Blend until smooth. Enjoy!
