Yes, I definitely have to add more spinach! Thank you so much for sharing what you use and more ideas. Never thought to put some of those other things in there. I’m excited to start trying them again. I am really hooked on peanut butter smoothies but need to get the green ones started again.

Yes, Angie- to get a brighter green, go for more spinach. I typically add:
-2 handfuls of spinach (probably 2-3 cups)
-A banana
-Ice cubes
-A carrot or two…

I also mix in (at different times)…
-Mint
-Mangos (frozen, from Trader Joe’s)
-Pineapple (fresh or frozen)
-Frozen strawberries (Trader Joe’s)

I haven’t had the whey powder or the flax seeds, which I will try! I’ve skipped the milk as I’ve been trying to keep the calories down, but that may help it be more “rib-sticking” as I tend to get hungry pretty soon after.

Hey Tishia,
I don’t think I’m using enough spinach. Mine are definitely not as green as others I have seen.

The whey protein powder, almond milk and flax can usually be found in a regular grocery store or even a Trader Joe’s. Walmart possibly but I’m not sure.

Yea it definitely doesn't look green like the name might suggest. LOL Ok I have a silly question - where do I find whey protein powder, almond milk & flax seed? Is that all something I can find at my regular grocery store (Wal-Mart) or do I need to go to a health food store or something? Tishia Lee's last blog post..Shhhhh Don’t Tell
