The Green Monster

I found out all about this drink from Angela from Oh She Glows from here.  And at first like most I thought Spinach in a drink? I love Spinach but I wasn't sure about making a drink with it, but you can not taste the Spinach at all. You mostly taste the banana and the chocolate peanut butter and it's SO good! I freeze a bunch of bananas once they are fully ripe and when I go to make the shake, I pull one out. The recipe calls for ice, but I like mine without ice. The frozen banana makes it cold enough for me. I drink these right before my workout and it gives me that extra boost to have a good workout. I highly recommend these!

The recipe from Oh She Glows is
