Happy Monday! Today’s recipe is my Super Amazing Green Smoothie! Some of you are already green smoothie experts, and I don’t have to tell you about the deliciousness involved with green smoothie drinking, or the health benefits. But others, not so much. So I’m going to talk to you , the unconverted, for a minute, because in the not so distant past, I WAS you. I am not the kind of person that will eat or drink something just because it’s ‘good for you’. It HAS to taste good, and if it’s a green drink, that goes double! Life is too short right?

I was pretty convinced that I wasn’t going to like it, and that it would be a waste of money, but I decided to be VERY brave and try it anyway. To my surprise, I actually liked it! And I felt really good after drinking it too! (Not to mention, pretty darn proud of myself too!)  And then I started thinking about when could I go back and get another one?! You guys,  it’s GREEN and the whole thing tastes like peaches and bananas, so what’s not to love?!

And that’s how it began. So, now I have this food blog thing happening, and I’m like, am I even a real food blogger if I don’t have a green smoothie recipe on my blog? I mean, you need that to get the official Food Blogger membership card right? 😉 So why not share my favorite green smoothie recipe with you guys? So I will. But first, I have to make a little confession.
