From a young age, I was not a big breakfast gal. Don’t get me wrong, I love breakfast foods. I am always up for brunch. Sesame Street’s “Cereal Girl” was a favorite childhood anthem of mine. But when it comes to eating that first meal of the day, albeit the most important, I just cannot get into it when it’s too early. Eating a big breakfast before 8am is impossible for me. I just cannot bring myself to do it.
If you’re someone who can wake up and immediately have sausage links, eggs, pancakes and wash it down with a big glass of milk and some OJ, more power to you. I have to get a little more creative with my weekday early morning meal choices. Enter the Green Monstah.
No, I’m not talking about the Red Sox icon. I’m talking about the smoothie. At first, I was hesitant about it. You’re telling me that I’m going to blend up a bunch of spinach and not taste it at all? Get outta town. Then I made my first batch and now I am hooked. 
There are a number of Green Monster Smoothie recipes floating around the Interwebz but I use this one. It takes less than 10 minutes to prepare and is positively packed with protein. The piece de resistance: it tastes like a peanut butter banana shake!!!
Do you love Green Monster Smoothies? Is your recipe different from mine? Please share!

Looks SO good! Spinach in smoothies is actually magical….it’s literally been my go-to since I became brave enough to try it! I usually do some combination of fruits, like this one: http://cakeandlilies.com/2013/07/30/blueberry-banana-mango-spinach-smoothie/
Ahhhhh I loved Sesame Street’s “Cereal Girl” too!
