During the hot days, I’ve been looking for recipes to cool me down. I came across this smoothie recipe that the blogger named “SUPER pregnancy green smoothie.” I figured a smoothie wouldn’t be too hard and this sounded like a great way for me to get in some essential vitamins.
Ingredients:
*Blender
*Crushed ice
*Water/{Orange} juice
*Spinach
*{Mixed} frozen fruit
*Banana
Recipe:
Make sure you have a blender that can crush ice. Add ingredients and mix!
Not so green….
Conclusion: I like how it is flexible and you can throw in what you want but that is usually what smoothies are. I didn’t like how mine turned out. First off, my blender did not perform well. I ended up springing a leak and the smoothie got every where. My bananas weren’t ripe yet so I skipped those and added frozen blueberries and some flax seed. To me, the smoothie tasted kind of chalky. That taste was likely a result of the flax seed. I didn’t taste the spinach which was surprising. I think I’ll give this a try again with and without some certain ingredients. I honestly want it to taste good…

There is a blogger in the Des Moines area that has really good green monster recipe. IowaGirlEats.com She always has other fabulous and healthy recipes as well. Green Monsters are great because you can make them the night before; freeze it and thaw it while you get ready in the morning!
