Green Monster Halloween Breakfast Smoothie
published by Laura Blaine on Oct 20, 2011
Amp up your morning with this delicious Halloween-inspired smoothie bowl. While smoothies are typically enjoyed out of a glass, adding a little extra ice will thicken up your smoothie enough to be able to eat it out of a bowl. The best part about this smoothie is that the “green slime” effect actually comes from antioxidant-packed spinach. Don’t let the spinach in your smoothie scare you…you won’t taste it one bit. I promise!
Ingredients:
1 frozen banana
3/4 cup fresh or frozen of choice (strawberries, blueberries, cherries, etc.)
1 cup milk
2 big handfuls of spinach
3-5 ice cubes
Optional: 1 scoop vanilla protein powder, 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum (for thickening)
Method:
- Combine all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth.
- Pour into a bowl (or glass) and enjoy.
