Green Monster Smoothie Using my Samson 6-in-1 Juicer
As I said in my last post, I’m on a bit of a green juices and smoothies ride right now. I just can’t get enough of them! I love to make healthy green smoothies for breakfast (which is strange, because I normally don’t even like smoothies that much!) But I just can’t seem to get enough of them! I drink one in the morning for breakfast and I just feel like I have so much energy all day long and I’m not experiencing the same types of cravings I used to. I would highly suggest giving one of these delicious green monsters a try!
I made this smoothie using my juicer on the homogenize or mince setting.
Juicer Set Up:
- Mincing Cone (or homogenizing blank)
- Drum Cap Only (no Nozzle Required)
Ingredients:
- 1 tbs flax
- 1 banana
- 1-2 cups spinach
- 1-1.25 cups almond milk (or soy or dairy or rice, etc)
Directions:
- Rinse spinach and peel banana (you can also chop it if you’d like)
- Send the flax, banana and spinach through your juicer (either one at a time or a mixture).
- Mix with milk product (in a glass or bowl) and if its too chunky, send the mixture (yes, with the almond milk) through your juicer one more time.
- Either sip away or chug that baby and begin to feel the energy soaring through you!
Serves: 1
**HINT** You can certainly add ice for some added chunkiness but I find the banana makes it thick enough! You can also play around with this recipe, swapping in different fruits, but the banana is usually an important ingredient for the texture. Try half a banana and some other fruits.
Can’t keep fresh fruit or fresh bananas around? Freeze them and use frozen fruits! It’ll make it even more like a smoothie! You can also use frozen spinach if that’s easier for you. This morning I had no fresh bananas left but remembered I still had a batch of my homemade ice cream in the freezer. I just threw in a banana-sized chunk and it was delicious!
I got the Green Monster Recipe from Angela at Oh She Glows. She maintains an awesome blog- check her out!

Oh, I’m lovin’ this! I made it for breakfast this morning, so excited that I exactly all the things I needed to make it. Spinach, flax, banana, and even almond milk – it must have been made to be! It’s absolutely delicious, and might just be my new go-to breakfast!
Thanks : )
I can’t wait to try this one. My usual juice in the morning has been spinach, cucumber, carrot and lemon – which is great. I am looking forward to trying new things! I love my juicer by the way!!
Yay! I’m so happy to hear you love your juicer Christine and also thrilled that you’re enjoying Green Monster breakfasts Molly. Aren’t they fabulous? I had one this morning!!
