My first Green Monstah

......Smoothie that is! This morning I made my first green monster smoothie before my workout. It was really yummy and did not taste like it had SPINACH in it. It's crazy! I'm thinking about making weekends my "smoothie days" for breakfast and lunch. This is my trial weekend to see how I feel. I said in my last post that I would give the recipe for the strawberry cheesecake recipe, but this was too good to pass up. I had some of this before my workout, along with the leftover apple. I had the rest after my workout. This will not keep me full until lunch, but it's a great way to get extra veggies in without really noticing.

"Avapple Smoothie"
1/2 avocado
1/2 large apple (or 1 whole small apple)
1/3 cup your choice of milk (I used soy for the protein)
1 tbsp flax/choice of protein
heaping handful of fresh spinach (this is a good time to use those that are starting to wilt) 
1 cup ice
You can use honey to sweeten, but I did not have any readily available. Plus, with the soy milk it was sweet enough.


Place avocado and apple chunks (small), along with milk and blend until smooth. Next comes the spinach and flax. Be sure to push the leaves down or else they will have a hard time blending. Last, add the ice. Use the ice setting on your blender because otherwise they just sit on top. Blend until smooth and voila you have your Avapple Smoothie.
