Once I got home I washed up the produce so it’s ready to go for the week. This will save me time later during the week when I’m busier.
Last week I bought a blender and I have been dying to try a “Green Monster”
2 cups Spinach
1 cup berries
1/8 cup Sprouts, They looked healthy so I picked them up today. Never once in my life have tried them before today.
½ c of Vanilla Yogurt
½ of Cherries, I forgot pic of them Oh well next time.
Everything in the Blender ready to go…
And the Finished Product! I would give it a 3-4 Star rating. I’m not to sure about these. I did add a Splenda packet to try and sweeten it up. I think I will continue to experiment with different combos of things to make Monsters.
Happy Saturday Everyone!!
I wouldn't add the sprouts, personally. Spinach has a pretty mild flavour - I'd just take out the sprouts and add extra spinach
ReplyDeleteI also don't add yogurt to my green smoothies - I'm still not sure how I feel about that -- for me, its just fruit and greens.
oh! and, I love sprouts on sandwiches!
I'm giving you a blog award. Check out my blog for the details :)
ReplyDeleteSplenda wouldn't be necessary. Normally you can get enough sugar from the fruits, but you had blueberries and strawberries. Both of those tend to have a bitter or rather, tart, edge to them.
ReplyDeleteI have a weakness, and that weakness is "banana." I don't eat it outside of smoothies, but in the realm of the frozen drink, banana is king. (And a valid source of potassium and sugar.)
However, until I read this post, the idea of putting vegetables in my smoothie has never occurred to me. I think this is probably due to my general hatred of all things healthy in anything other than written theory. (I can't even discuss it without drinking a latte first. Therefore negating any opinions I espouse on the subject.)
