GREEN Monster Smoothie!!

Let me just start by telling you the thought of drinking liquid spinach did not appeal to me.  I don't like weird textures, funky smells or even looking at ingredients mixed together that are out of the normal.  My throat knots up, my mind takes over and usually before I can even bring the food/drink to my mouth I have convinced myself it is NOT for me.   So how can it be that I really LIKE this smoothie? 

I can HONESTLY tell you this smoothie is very good.  It tastes mostly like banana with a slight hint of peanut butter and It is a great source of vitamin A, C, K, iron, folate and lutein.  

Here are the ingredients - I hope you will give this a shot because it truly is a great source of protein and fiber and great vitamins!

Ingredients:

1 frozen sliced banana
1 Tablespoon peanut butter
1/2 cup 0% Vanilla Chobani Greek yogurt ( I used Oikos Vanilla Greek Yogurt)
1 cup Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Breeze (or other kind of milk)
4 cups baby spinach (or more, or less)

Directions:  Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.
