Don’t judge this smoothie by its name–or its bright green hue. Seriously, it’s delicious! And I promise, you can’t taste the spinach. All you taste is banana. It’s cold and creamy and frothy good. I’ve made it my go-to drink after a workout. I usually stick to bananas in mine, but if you have other frozen berries throw them in too!

Green Monster Smoothie

1/4 cup old-fashioned oats (this adds fiber and gives the smoothie texture) You can also had a tablespoon of peanut butter, wheat germ or flax seed.

2 giant handfuls spinach

1 cup skim milk

1 frozen banana

Ice (I usually use 5 cubes)

Directions:

Blend oats, spinach and milk until combined. Then add ice and banana and blend until smooth. Makes about 16 ounces. I usually drink it all myself, but if you’re feeling generous, you can get two servings out of it.
