Post Workout - The Green Monster Smoothie

After a great workout you may find yourself wondering, "now what can I eat or drink?" This is a great post-workout snack that will re-energize & keep you filled for hours. The taste of the banana and the peanut butter cover the taste of the spinach completely. I freeze my bananas and spinach then prepackage everything for the week! Substitutions include rice or nut milks or vanilla yogurt. Here is the recipe.

Ingredients:

1 cup fat-free milk (I use soymilk)

½ cup fat-free plain (I use soy yogurt or sometimes omit this ingredient)

yogurt

1 banana, frozen and

chunked

1 tablespoon natural

peanut butter

2 cups fresh spinach

1 cup ice cubes

(Optional)

Directions:

Blend milk, yogurt, banana, peanut butter, spinach and ice cubes until smooth.
