The second try of the beloved Green Monster smoothie went much better than my first try.

With the addition of frozen peaches and brown rice protein powder it turned out to be a much nicer color than the first edition but still not the vibrant green that I had seen.

Taste? Delicious!

Well they say the third time is a charm and that definitely was the case for me and my quest to find the perfect Green Monster smoothie.

I finally had almond milk and used fresh spinach on this one which I think helped add to the fabulous color!

This was by far the best-tasting and is the winning combo – I will of course keep trying new flavors to keep it fresh but I will be making this recipe again very soon!

As you might know – I love all things hemp. Hemp Bagels are one of my favorites AND Manitoba Harvest’s Hemp Protein Powder also has those amazing hemp properties that I appreciate!

Since I’ve been making more smoothies lately, it really helps if I add a bit of protein powder to keep me going through the morning. One of my favorites is the hemp protein & fiber powder. First of all a serving contains 127 calories, 3 grams of fat 14 grams of fiber and 11 grams of protein. I love that hemp contains essential amino acids and omega-3 fatty acids and that it is a sustainable crop as well.

This is definitely a great addition to the Green Monster smoothies. Try it out and let me know what you think!
