Confessions of an Unliked Green Monster


There's a Green Monster Movement, did you know? Yesterday I decided it was time I finally give a green smoothie a shot...



Into the blender went 1 1/2 cups frozen spinach, 1 frozen banana, 4 frozen strawberries and...



 
...1 cup skim milk, agave nectar and honey. About 1 1/2 tsp of each.


  
 I got out my dizzy glass (that's what Crate and Barrel calls them anyways), and was pumped to enjoy my Green Monster!!


 
However, it tasted like spinach. And I love spinach, but not in liquid form.
So, Lily got the Green Monster....and loved it. Thank goodness husband doesn't read my blog, it'd be off with my head!!


I'm really disappointed I didn't love my first Green Monster. Especially after yesterday's post about increasing fruits and vegetables!!! I felt ashamed like I should've liked it. I went on to make a fruit smoothie (one of my claims to fame should there ever be one, haha) and had a spinach salad for diner.


Regretfully, I am not on board with the Green Monster Movement as of trial #1. But I'm willing to give it another go, most definitely! Does anyone have a Green Monster recipe they LOVE? Did anyone else not enjoy their first Green Monster?
