This is a great smoothie! I have tried several "green" smoothies in the past, but I always struggled to get them down because I always tasted the spinach (or other greenery that might have been in it). I only taste the peanut butter, banana, and vanilla yogurt -- no spinach! I am super excited to make another one tomorrow. Thank you so much!

* I substituted vanilla yogurt in place of the almond milk and plain yogurt.

I found PB2 at Whole Foods.

I have been making this for months but minus and milk or PB. Just water, Greek yogurt, spinach, banana, berries, mango, peach... whatever fruit I am in the mood for. I believe it comes out to 1 point. I am thinking of adding the PB2. Do you make it in to PB or use just the powder?

If you want to try any other green smoothies, Vitamix has some posted on their website. Just go to the recipe section and search "green smoothies". So far I've tried Going Green and Kale And Pear and they're delicious! I make them ahead of time an freeze them in bags :) Some of their recipes call for wheat grass, but my dietitian friend says as far as nutrition goes, you can substitute kale or spinach.

nope. add some ice or cold water.

Has anyone added coffee to the smoothie? Do you think that would be a yummy addition or would it ruin the flavor. I absolutely love them, I would just like to combine my morning coffee and smoothie :)

@Frugal in Florida... I just made my first Green Monster and did it exactly the way you mentioned!! Never even thought to freeze the yogurt in an ice tray until I saw it mentioned on Pinterest.
Just so handy! This smoothie is pretty dang tasty! Spinach... who would've thought? I hope it's as energizing as everyone says. I need that!

Oh my! This smoothie is awesome. I was pretty leary about it at first, but I've done a complete overhaul with my diet, so this seemed up my new alley. It's sweet, but not too sweet and you can't taste the spinach at all. Very good! Excited to experiment with different greens and fruits.
