Green Snot Smoothie

I don't usually like my food to resemble green snot.

But I made an exception this time and decided to try something new no matter how gross it looked.
And I was pleasantly surprised with the outcome :)

I happened upon a spinach shake recipe on the great Dr. Oz website and thought... how on earth could anyone create a drink with spinach as the main ingredient that would taste anything close to enjoyable. But somehow that wonderful wizard has done it!

I will warn you that this drink comes out looking a little bit like the slime we used to see on Nickelodeon... but I promise you, it tastes delicious! I was surprised that you don't really taste the spinach at all, you taste more of the creamy peanut butter/banana flavor.

Green Snot Smoothie

Ingredients:

3 cups spinach
2 cups ice
1/2 banana (I didn't have any bananas so I substituted 2 jars of banana baby food)
2 tbsp creamy peanut butter
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
3/4 C almond milk (I used the sweetened kind but either would work)

Pour all ingredients into a blender and blend on high until completely mixed. Pour shake into glass and enjoy!

*This is not a low calorie beverage. I would recommend using it as a meal replacement or on a day when you're going to hit the gym hard.
