Ok…so I know you probably came here for sweet things. Butter, sugar, sprinkles and cookies and cakes galore. The last thing you probably want to see is a nutrient-packed, green smoothie.Well, too bad.
I had heard about the Green Monster Movement through Simply Scrumptious awhile back. And as much as I thought it was a pretty-looking smoothie, the fact that there was a whole whackload of spinach in it turned me off a little. However, this morning I decided to be brave and give it a try. As part of my own personal movement to start eating healthier again.
The result? AMAZING. Seriously. You honestly cannot even taste the spinach – the banana disguises it completely.
This is a fantastic way to start off your day. It’s packed with all good things, and it tastes surprisingly delicious.
So, go give the Green Monster a try…you might be surprised ;)

ReplyDeleteHonestly, it's shocking how much you can't taste the spinach. It just tastes like a light banana smoothie.
