Green Monster and ACV

Alright...So... I've seen on Pinterest and Facebook that there are these green monster shakes and apparently they're supposed to be amazing and life changing. Well here I go on that! It's crazy to think that you could drink one of those things and actually enjoy it...I'M TELLING YOU, YOU CAN!!! I've only just started out so I haven't seen benefits yet but the taste is pretty good.
Some of you are probably like what the heck is a green monster...Well...It's spinach...YEP!! There are other things in it as well but its green because of the spinach!
Well here was my dilema with the recipes I was seeing, banana was in everything. I'm allergic to bananas...I know sad right?
So I set out on a quest to get a good tasting smoothie without the banana!!!!
Here is what I have created so far:
  • 1/2 Cup of Natural Apple Sauce
  • 1/2 Cup Pineapple and Pineapple juice (got it from a can, going to try fresh later)
  • 1/3 Cup Coconut Milk (helps with metabolism) I also use almond milk
  • Handful of Spinach
And you can add these if you'd like:
  • Tsp Hemp Middles (you can use flax seed as well we just have hemp)
  • Tsp FPP (Fosselized Phyto Plankton) (or Diatematious earth)
Put all of this in a blender and I put it on liquify and let it sit for about 30 seconds and I check to see if it is too thick, if not I drink it, if it is too thick I'll add more coconut milk.

None of my measurings are acurate, I seriously just put a bunch of random amounts of everything into my blender!

This one I call Pine-Apple hahaha get it??
I'm going to come up with more recipes without banana of course but anyone can have them and you can easily add a banana to most of them I'm sure!
So what I'm thinking of next is a berry one, and then also for the sweet tooth one that tastes like a chocolate shake...but without the chocolate! It's a work in progress but I'm going to do it!



I'd also like to add if you have an allergy to something in one of my recipes or in another one you've seen and you can't come up with a substitute shoot me a comment or email and I'd be happy to help!







Now you're probably like "Courtkne that's great an all...but what is ACV?" Well friend I'm going to tell you what it is.
A Apple
C Cider
V Vinager
And this is probably the point where you're like..."oh no she's going to tell us we have to make some sort of shake with it..." NOPE!!!! That would be disgusting if you ask me. But what I am going to tell you is that you should drink it! Not straight from the bottle like a drunk or something but what I've done is but a cap full in about half a small glass of OJ and drink it like it's a shot of tequilla and not the expensive kind, like the gross cheap stuff that someone thought it would taste the same :-D
Anyway! Drink it 1-2 times a day and it's supposed to flush out toxins and help your body detox and from the reading I've done on this some people have done this for years and it has helped with their weight loss and illnesses. All with a cup of OJ and vinager.
You also can put it in water or some people have said tea. I personally don't really like tea so I'll stick to OJ. OH and by OJ I mean orange juice, not the dude.
Well I'm done for today!!
Any question?
