Runs for Cookies Recipes: Green Monster (original)

Green Monster (original)

I got this recipe from Angela at Green Monster Movement. There are many, many variations, but my heart lies with the original. Sometimes I add blueberries, too. Trust me when I say that this tastes NOTHING like the way it looks! I was completely skeptical, but pleasantly surprised when I first tried it.

Green Monster

1 Tbsp. flax seed meal
1 cup (packed) spinach
1 cup almond milk
1 banana, peeled (duh)
6 ice cubes

Put the ingredients (except for the ice) into a blender in the following order: flax seed, spinach, banana, almond milk. Let it rip on high until it's blended well, then add the ice and blend until smooth. I promise you that this tastes just like a banana shake, without a trace of spinach! Serves 1.

Some of these recipes are my own creation, a few are from cookbooks or other sources (which I will cite), but MOST of them are recipes that I've tried and modified into a healthier version.

I've included the nutrition info on most of the recipes (which I calculate using Sparkpeople.com's Recipe Calculator). However, calculating the nutrition info takes a LOT of time that I'd rather spend doing something more interesting, so some of the recipes don't have the facts. You can always go to Sparkpeople and figure it out yourself, however :)
