GREEN can be DELICIOUS

It is official. . . I am obsessed with chocolate green smoothies.  A picture from the Eating Like a Bird blog inspired me to create my own antioxidant concoction.  This recipe is absolutely DIVINE.  I'm very proud of it and want to share such delicious nutrition with everyone!

1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk

1 scoop chocolate protein powder

1 T raw cocoa powder or carob powder (I've been using carob with yummy success)

1/2 cup pineapple

1/2 cup cherries

2-3 cups spinach

Approximately six months ago, I started drinking spinach, kale, romaine, you name it . . .  My inspiration came after viewing an insightful documentary. (See previous post What I Should Eat).  Ever since, experimenting with various blends has evolved into a little hobby. Some recipes have been merely palatable while others (specifically the one listed above) rock my morning.  If you're hesitant to give green smoothies a try I am making you a promise:  you can't taste the spinach at all!

I use a wide variety of protein powders to accommodate all of my yummy alternative protein recipes:
Tera's Whey (I wrote an entire review on this brand in my post Busy Army Wife)
Jay Robb
NOW (I purchased mine on Amazon; it is not organic but uses no artificial sweeteners; the taste is very mild and blends nicely.)

Give it a try and let me know what you think!
