This morning I had the ULTIMATE OGRE or my favorite one. I measured everything out so all you skepticals can make one. I promise it's good.
This morning I used (from left to right)
- 4 cups of spinach (seems like a lot but it was just one big handful).
- 1 scoop (1T) of Amazing Grass (you can use protein powder, cocoa powder or just skip it all together)
- 1 cup of soy milk (I like regular skim milk better).
- 1 tablespoon chia seed mix Definitely another you can skip. It was the first time I used it and didn't taste it at all.
- 1 tablespoon Crazy Richard's natural peanut butter (you can use any nut butter)
- 1 cup of frozen banana

I put the milk in first, then the spinach, and put the rest of the stuff on top. If I put the bananas in first my blender gets angry.

I blend it for about 2 or 3 minutes to so the bananas get frothy..JPG)
If I didn't use the Amazing Grass it would be much greener.So yesterday I received a package in the mail. Nanette over at Crazy Richard's peanut butter sent me a package with 4 jars of their peanut butter to try!

This peanut butter is comparable to Barney Butter with consistency but... it's PEANUT BUTTER! I like almond butter but peanut butter will always be my favorite. This is my favorite nut butter ever. After breakfast I hit the gym with a friend. We did a body combat class. Girl... What were we thinkin?! It was awesome! By the time I left I was dripping in sweat and my arms are like jelly right now.
When I got home I was starving. I made a veggie flatbread with romaine lettuce, cucumbers, tomato, feta, oregano, S&P, and a little bit of white wine vinegar. So good!

I had all intentions of eating the yogurt in the picture but it didn't happen. Infact I dumped most of my lunch in the trash. The husband called around lunch time and I didn't have an appetite after the phone call. I can't say much but there probably won't be a dinner post for the next couple days. Have you guys been watching the news?

I just BOUGHT Krema today for the first time, have yet to indulge! The Green Monster looks interesting, not sure I can pull myself to trying a smoothie with Spinach in it! Maybe someday...
Ohhh krazy richards! Id love to try that stuff :)
Your green monster looks yummy!
I heard about the earthquake :( Devastating..
Okay, I'm putting almond butter AND chocolate in tomorrow's ogre. The baby and I had to stock up on spinach today. Running out of that stuff is horrible! That peanut butter sounds yummy.
Yay! I'm so glad you posted about the ogre!! I'm going to the grocery store tonight and am going to get the ingredients to make one! (ooh, I'm nervous! haha just can't get past the spinach thing but I'll give it a whirl)
I'm not going to buy the protein powder or the seed mix, since they're optional and the powder is so expensive, until I know if I like it or not. I think my brother got some protein powder and hasn't used it so I might hit him up for some. I hope its not the muscle builder kind though - might be... grr.
Your veggie flatbread looked yumalicious! Too bad you lost your appetite with the crummy news. Your family is in my prayers! Stay strong!
I'm with you -- all nut butters are delicious but peanut butter is definitely special. :)
Sending prayers with your husband as he heads to Haiti. His help is much needed down there.
A body combat class sounds amazing! And bananas are a fave addition of mine to GM's.
A Canadian nurse from a town only a few minutes down the road from me was in Haiti for all of 90mins when the earthquake struck and killed her. They are looking for 6 others that were with her. What a terrible disaster for those poor people....
I'm a big fan of Green Monsters!! I drink one every morning... just like yours, without the chai seeds.
Just wanted to let you know that I made my first ogre/green monster this morning and used the portions from your recipe above. Delicious!!
Hey Kristen, apparently I missed this post so please disregard my earlier question! Can't wait to try this creation!!
