The (new and improved) Green Monster Smoothie.

Ever since discovering it, I've been IN LOVE with Iowa Girl Eats' Green Monster Spinach Smoothie. It's brilliant, so healthy but tastes so sinful. Insane. But after making it so many times, tweaking the ingredients a bit each time, I've come up with a new recipe for a Green Monster Smoothie. This smoothie is quite high in calories, however it contains healthy fats and carbs which tend not to accumulate as body fat, and are instantly used by the body instead. It can be consumed as a meal replacement smoothie, and is also my go-to post-workout smoothie, as it's high in protein and very hydrating. And it does not taste healthy. At. All.

Ingredients:

• 1 frozen banana (slice it beforehand).
• A handful or two of fresh baby spinach leaves, or 3-4 cubes of frozen spinach.
• 1 tbsp peanut butter.
• 3/4 cup coconut water (I use Vita Coco).
• 1 tbsp coconut oil.
• 1 tbsp honey.
• 1 tsp gelatine.
• 1-2 tbsp greek yoghurt.
• 1 stalk of celery.
• 1 scoop vanilla whey protein (optional).

Blend, blend, blend, and enjoy!

Healthy Pina Colada.

I've been on the hunt for a healthy Pina Colada recipe for a while now, but I just couldn't seem to find one. So I made my own.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup frozen pineapple pieces (make sure to cut up the pineapple BEFORE freezing it).
• 1 tbsp coconut oil.
• 1 cup coconut water (I used Vita Coco).
• 1/2 frozen banana (once again, slice it up beforehand).
• 1-2 tbsp greek yoghurt (optional, I added it to make the smoothie creamier).
• 1 tbsp honey.
• 1 tsp gelatine.
• 1 tbsp vanilla whey protein (optional, if you want to make this a post workout smoothie).

And now just put all of the ingredients into a blender, blend blend blend, and you've got a healthy Pina Colada!
