Green Smoothies

someone asked me the other day if i still drank green smoothies. i thought, what a crazy question, of course i still do! but she pointed out that i never post about them anymore so she assumed i no longer drank them.

i guess i thought i was being repetitive by continuing to post about my green monsters but i realize it's important to write about the things i eat all the time so you all know what is good enough to fit into my belly on an almost daily basis.

confession: i drink a green smoothie almost everyday. i slack off a little in the wintertime because it's so cold and sometimes i just want to consume hot food and hot drinks. but, since spring is beginning to peek it's much missed face out from under the snow/mud, smoothies are back to being almost a daily occurance.

in fact, just today i had a green chocolate bomb. see, the great thing about spinach is you can literally add it to anything and get the nutrients and green benefits without the green taste. so, after my training session with G today i had a chocolate concoction mainly because . . .

confession #2: we are almost out of protein powder. the only flavor we have left is chocolate. (i need to remedy this situation, stat)

today in the mix:

Green Chocolate Bomb

8oz skim milk
2 tbs hersheys chocolate syrup
1 scoop dessert powder
1 huge handful of baby spinach
1 cup ice

blend together till smooth . . . chocolaty goodness!

so, while i don't post every time i drink one, i will be sure to share with you some of my favorites.
