Does this look yummy? Not really. Would my seven-year-old sister go near it with a ten foot pole? Nope. Is it delicious? YES. Is it amazing for your body??? YES!!!!

Before you dismiss this as something you would never eat (for those of you non-food blogging peeps out there), you gotta hear me out. This drink, called a Green Monster, is (first and foremost) DELICIOUS! I’m not kidding!!!! It tastes like an amazing, creamy, decadent, sweet treat. If you drank it blindfolded you would have NO idea that it was green.

So why is it green? It has vegetables!!! And if you’re like me and struggle with veggie intake, the best part about this is that you CAN NOT TASTE THE VEGETABLES. I SWEAR!

I use the simple recipe that the Oh She Glows blogger calls the “Classic” Green Monster:

• 1 cup almond milk (or whatever milk you want)
• 1 ripe banana
• 2 big handfuls of spinach
• 1 T. peanut butter
• 1 T. flax seeds

All you do is mix it together in a blender until it’s totally smooth and blend in a couple cubes of ice if you like. Instant breakfast and wonderful nutritional boost!!!

If you have a blender, you must try this. For your own sake. I forced Jason to drink some (key word being forced) and even he could not look me in the eye and tell me that it wasn’t delicious.

This drink gives me so much energy and I LOVE starting the day knowing that I’ve already got some vegetables in without even trying. And I have no doubt that I will see long-term results in my health. Stay tuned!

Oh Green Monster…how have I lived so long without you?!
