{green smoothie obsession + recipe}

I have seen people write and talk about "green" smoothies for a long time now, but honestly, it didn't sound that appetizing to me! I don't know what convinced me {other than I'm in a wedding in 4 months and bathing suit season is right around the corner....YIKES}, but I decided to make my first smoothie last week! Let me just say this....don't "judge a book by it's cover" - meaning, don't be scared of the scary greenish color! It was absolutely delish! You cannot taste the spinach AT ALL! Tastes just like a strawberry-banana smoothie. I've been making them for breakfast for the past week and plan to continue {but with some different recipes}. They are very filling, plus just knowing they are full of healthy "stuff" makes them all the better! This is the recipe I have been using....give it a try....I'm pretty sure you'll thank me later!! ;))

 

Strawberry Banana Green Smoothie

 

1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk {this is what I've been using, or you can use milk of choice}

1/4 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt

2 cups fresh spinach leafs

1/2 cups fresh/frozen strawberries

1 frozen banana

1/2 T. honey

1/4 tsp. vanilla extract

1/2 cup ice

 

Place all ingredients in a blender and mix away! It's that easy!

 

 

And, CHEERS!!!
