It's that time again, time for the Crazy Cooking Challenge! This month, our task was to make a smoothie...any smoothie we wanted, we just had to find it from another blog. After some thinking about what I wanted to try in a smoothie, and a little bit of searching, I finally found a new recipe to try - the Green Monster Smoothie, courtesy of Two Peas & Their Pod. I did amend the recipe slightly from the original. Here is how I prepared the recipe:Green Monster Smoothie
1 large orange, peeled and segmented
1/2 large banana, broken into chunks
6 large strawberries, sliced
1 cup spinach
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/2 cup 1% milk
6 ice cubes
I used our Bullet as our blender died and we haven't yet replaced it. So, I prepared all of the ingredients, and divided them equally between two bullet cups. I blended each drink, garnished with some orange and strawberry, and served. Easy breezy!
VERDICT:
We enjoyed this smoothie, and I must admit, I think it perked me up more that my usual morning cup of coffee. All the fresh fruit and the spinach, tasted great together. The Bullet did leave som orange chunks in the smoothie which was about the only down side to this challenge!
