Lean Green Smoothie

As I have stated before, I LOVE smoothies, they are easy meals on the go, and I am always on the go.  I have also been trying to fight this statistic that I heard that women gain the most weight in their first 5 years of marriage, so finding things that are tasty, easy, and  healthy has been difficult.  So I went searching online and much like last time, nothing sounded great, so I took a couple different recipes and mashed them together and came up with this delicious smoothie.

Ingredients:

1 Large Banana Frozen (cut the banana in pieces prior to freezing)

1 (5.3 oz) Cup Vanilla Flavored Greek Yogurt

1 Tbsp Nutella

½ Tbsp. Peanut Butter

1 cup/handful Baby Spinach

½-1 Cup Milk.

Handful of Ice

Directions:

Put everything in the blender and blend until smooth.

I had found similar recipes but they called for almond milk, which is really expensive to buy just for smoothies, and why not use what I already have in my kitchen, there is no use cluttering up my refrigerator with products that are not used often.

The nice thing about buying the yogurt cups is that if you don't use all of them for smoothies you can always take them to work or have them as a snack...by the way, I am a huge fan of greek yogurt.

Now this smoothie does not look that appetizing, actually it looks really gross, but I promise it tastes delicious.  The peanut butter and Nutella add just enough sweetness to remind me of a peanut butter banana sandwich.  After drinking this smoothie I was full and did not even feel hungry for the rest of the night.  So all in all this experiment was a success, and I will be making this again.
