Green Monster Halloween Breakfast Smoothie

Amp up your morning with this delicious Halloween-inspired smoothie bowl. While smoothies are typically enjoyed out of a glass, adding a little extra ice will thicken up your smoothie enough to be able to eat it out of a bowl. The best part about this smoothie is that the “green slime” effect actually comes from antioxidant-packed spinach. Don’t let the spinach in your smoothie scare you…you won’t taste it one bit. I promise!

Ingredients:

1 frozen banana

3/4 cup fresh or frozen of choice (strawberries, blueberries, cherries, etc.)

1 cup milk

2 big handfuls of spinach

3-5 ice cubes

Optional: 1 scoop vanilla protein powder, 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum (for thickening)

Directions:

Combine all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth.

Pour into a bowl (or glass) and enjoy.

For a crunch, add some oats, cheerios and granola to your smoothie.

Have a happy Halloween and enjoy this morning breakfast!
