Green Monster Smoothie


Green Monster Smoothie

(Servings 1)


Ingredients: 

  • 1 cup Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
  • 1 Tbsp Nutella
  • 1 Ripe Banana, sliced
  • 1/2 cup Fat Free Vanilla Chobani Greek Yogurt
  • 1 Tbsp Chia Seeds
  • 2 cups Baby Spinach

Directions: 

  1. Add all ingredients in a blender in the order listed above.
  2. Blend till smooth. 
Tips:

  • You can add an additional tbsp of flax seeds. Please note that they do have a strong taste. 
  • During the summer months I slice the Banana and freeze it. PS: Slice before you freeze, just trust me on this one!
  • You can substitute the Nutella with Peanut Butter. I am allergic to peanuts so Nutella seemed like a great alternative and who doesn't love chocolate?!!
  • Plain fatfree milk and yogurt maybe used, I just prefer Greek yogurt's consistency. 
  • If you would like to bulk this smoothie up let the Chia Seeds soak in the Almond milk for about an hour (or longer). They grown a tad in size. 
  • I get the Chia seeds and Almond milk from Whole Foods. 

ENJOY!
