A few weeks ago I ordered the Oh She Glows cookbook and ever since have been testing out as many recipes as I can. There are so many delicious and healthy options and this basic green monster smoothie is my new favorite breakfast/lunch/snack. What better way to sneak in an extra serving of veggies than in a tasty smoothie? For a filling meal in a hurry I blend in a scoop of vanilla protein powder . I make this at least two times a week and I promise you can’t taste the veggies.

I love these!!! All the ingredients sounds so good together in a weird way haha!
I’ve been loving green smoothies lately, so I’ll have to try this out!
I keep wanting to make a green smoothie but then I get weirded out and never try it. I need to just suck it up and try it! Yours sounds good!!

this looks amazing, need to try for sure! i love me some smoothies! i love adding kale or spinach because it packs a nutritional punch with hardly any taste. yum!
Love green smoothies! I really need that cookbook! I have been wanting to start adding chia seeds to mine but haven’t bought any yet. Your monogrammed cup is really cute. : )
Mmmm, green smoothies are the best. I love adding almond butter to mine too — sometimes I’ll do strawberries & almond butter and it tastes like a PB&J. Yum!
Yum this looks amazing – I’ll have to give it a try!

There’s an amazing PERSONAL-sized blender out there that the drinking cup just pops off once you’re done blending. I use mine at work sometimes. I think Hamilton Beach makes it? It’s like $15!
Ooh loving this new kale combo. Your monogrammed Tervis is adorable!
I’m really interested in this book. Tell us more?
i know i know i need to try a green smoothie thanks for the reminder and guilt after eating all the candy from easter
Now I know what I’ll be having for breakfast in the morning!
I eat this for breakfast or a snack pretty regularly! But I haven’t put Chia seeds in it, need to try it! My mom always “gels” them in a juice over night so they don’t stick in her teeth.

I loooove Oh She Glows! She is one of my favorite food blogs. I always go to her website when I need a healthy, vegan recipe idea. This smoothie looks delicious! When I move back to the States I will definitely be ordering her cookbook.
I’ve been on a smoothie kick lately and this looks super good! I’ll definitely have to try it!! Thanks for sharing!
