Green Monster Smoothie

I know, I'm a little late to the Green Monster Smoothie bandwagon, but I am now officially onboard. I'm sure many of you know about the Green Monster Smoothie, but for those of you that don't it's essentialy a smoothie with some Kale or Spinach leaves thrown in. 

I've now served this twice to Mr. KMW and both times he asked with skepticisim 'you put green stuff in there?' Both time he took his first sip and said mmmm. You do not taste the 'green stuff', you just get the benefit of all of their nutrients! 

I'm not going to type up a recipe as there are a ton out there, but you could use my Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie or my Strawberry Green Tea Smoothie and just add 1 to 2 handfulls of Kale or 2 handfulls of baby spinach into the mixer with the other ingredients. Really, that's all there is to it! I've been adding it to the Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie.

There's also recipes over at Alli 'N Sons, Oh She Glows, Two Peas & Their Pod, Running to the Kitchen,  Table for Two, and the list could go on.

Oh and this smoothie kick also makes me want a Vitamix.
