If you’re after a healthy smoothie that packs a punch in the way of healthy goodness, then you’ve got to try this little number. It’s called the Green Eyed Monster because of its bright green colour but don’t let this put you off – it tastes delicious and it’s extremely good for you. It’s different to your average smoothie because it contains almond milk, so if you’re bored of using the same ingredients then why not try Blue Diamond Almond Breeze® milk as a yummy alternative?

  • 1 tablespoon peanut butter
  • ¼ cup Vanilla flavoured Greek yoghurt
  • 1 glass Blue Diamond Almond Breeze® milk
  • 4 cups of baby spinach leaves.

Firstly, peel and slice your banana before you freeze – you’ll be sorry if not! Then add the banana and peanut butter in a blender. Next, add your vanilla flavoured Greek yoghurt and your almond milk. Fill the rest of the blender up with baby spinach, and get blending!

Spinach is probably one of the healthiest foods out you can get your hands on. It’s crammed full of iron and vitamin K – in fact, one cup has almost 200% of your recommended daily value! Vitamin K is amazing for bone health. It’s nutrient-dense and has more than 20 different measurable vitamins and minerals included, such as calcium, protein and fibre.

Similarly, Blue Diamond Almond Breeze® milk is lower in calories and fat than regular cow’s milk and it’s really high in vitamin E, which is great for your skin. A cup of Blue Diamond Almond Breeze® milk also contains 25% of your recommended daily value of vitamin D so even if the sun decides not to shine, your body won’t miss out on this vital vitamin!

Greek yoghurt has more protein in than regular yoghurt and peanut butter is a great source of monounsaturated fat and fibre, so this smoothie really does tick all the health boxes!

So, don’t be put off by its bright green, monstrous colouring! This smoothie is your number one go to drink if you want a quick-fix health drive. It’s hard to believe how healthy this gorgeously green smoothie is because it tastes so sweet and delicious. It’s perfect for breakfast, lunch or as a post-workout snack.
