As most of you I am currently on the Shaklee 180 program and I have been loving it. I am so happy with the results so far and I can’t wait to see I how I look for the wedding. I can really tell that I am a changed women and I can’t even describe the amount of energy I have.
I have 1 to 2 smoothies a day I have become very creative with the different types of smoothies I have been making to help keep me motivated and to change it up from day to day. I also like to get creative for the holidays.
For St Patrick’s Day I am going to be making what I like to call the Green Monster! Don’t be fooled by the color, it is actually very sweet. It has a great combination of fruits and vegetables.
You will need:
1 Cup Milk
2 Scoops of Vanilla Shaklee 180 Smoothee Mix
1/2 Cup Pineapple (Canned or fresh)
1/4 Cup Spinach (Fresh or Frozen)
1/2 Avocado
1/2 Orange
8 Ice Cubes
Blend until thick and creamy! This is a breakfast for champions.
I will be honest with you, when I made this most of my sibling didn’t want to try it because of the color. Once they did, they loved it.
No one except for the baby saw me make this smoothie, so they had to ask what was in it that made it green because they couldn’t tell by the taste! That is what I call hiding veggies!
This is a great way to get all of your morning nutrition in one glass. It has milk, protein, fruits and veggies. It tasted so good and I know that you are going to love it.
If you wouldn’t mind sharing, I would love to know what you and your family actually think of it.
Until next time,
Hey Elisabeth the Green Monster idea looks great. I tried this from a similar recipe that doctor oz put out there but I omitted the milk and added water. It is less calories that way. The Avocado provides the extra protein that the milk would so you are fine there I did the math on calories and with water it is 438 calories. With skim milk it is 528 calories. Just in case people are counting calories like I am as well. Have a great day thanks for the recipe:)
Thank you so much for sharing this Jenn. I am sure it will help a lot of people!
Hi Elizabeth,
Just wanted to thank you for posting this beautiful smoothie! it really is! And it’s wonderfully creamy and not too sugary, it’s just right! I had been looking on pinterest for a St.Patty’s day last minute breakfast for my kids and…walla! I have never responded to someone blog like this but I thought it was so sweet of you to ask for feedback, so here ya go! Everyone unanimously agreed, it was delish and they drank it all up, all four of my picky eaters! Thanks again, and have a great day!

Hi, Caroline! I am so glad that all of the kids like it. It is amazing what they will eat when they don’t know what is in it. They just like to know it taste good. I hope you had a great St Patty’s Day and that the smoothie got you all off on the right foot. Thank you for posting! ~Elisabeth
