that sounds delicious! I'll definitely be trying this out!
It looks really gross. But sounds wonderful! haha I'm a huge fan of yucky looking juices and shakes.
No kidding! It DOES look gross & very green. I'm also a sucker for these healthy shakes. It TASTES like chocolate and is so satisfying. To me, it's like dessert!
This actually looks really good. I might actually have to make it. Thanks for sharing girl!
What kind of protein powder do you use? And where do they sell protein powder? I see these kinds of shakes on Pinterest all the time and I want to try a couple but I'm nervous when it comes to going and getting the ingredients that I've never used before. It looks kinda iffy but I won't knock it until I try it!
I don`t think I`ve ever tried a protein shake before, but this looks yummy. I`m tempted to just use a scoop of cocoa powder but that would kinda defeat the healthiness of this shake, haha!

This looks awesome! I have a protein shake almost every day, but I hardly ever add veggies to it (usually a banana goes in mine). But I just may have to try this one out. :)

I use Optimum Whey and buy it from Bodybuilding.com (not just for bodybuilders :) ). The link is here: http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/opt/whey.html. You can also get protein at local nutrition stores or even the grocery store! I love it :)
This looks awesome! I usually put a banana or strawberries in mine, but I might get brave and try the spinach. Looks so healthy and yummy!!
i make a lot of milkshakes, but i never thought to put spinach in them. it's a great idea. that way it's really nutritious.

I am going to need to start adding spinach to my normal protein shakes! I put the following together, and blend: 1 scoop protein powder (vanilla soy), 1/4 block tofu, 1 Tbsp dry sugar free pudding mix (vanilla), 1 tsp butter extract, 1 tsp almond extract, stevia, 10 ice cubes, and 3/4-1 cup water. It tastes like cake batter, not even kidding. It is SO yummy, but if I got a serving of veggies in there, too?! Man! That would be the best!!!
I make almost the same thing, and I really, really, REALLY recommend using a frozen banana instead of the ice cubes. It blends more evenly and gives it a milkshake like creaminess. Promise!
I always check out
this website before buying any protein products - www.pro-proteinshake.com -
My personal favourite is the Labrada Lean Body Hi-Protein shake because of
the high protein:carb ratio.
You're so welcome, Sammantha! I'm glad you have an affinity for green & gross-looking food like me!
You know what else would make it so good? ICE CREAM! But yeah... no can do. I have also added a handful of frozen berries, or half a banana, or some yogurt! That helps spice it up!
Bananas make them so good and thick! I will add a banana for a post-workout shake... haven't done it in a while. Thanks for reminding me!
And I need to get crazy and add berries! Good idea!
Milkshakes are so good! If you add spinach to a milkshake, it totally adds a healthy factor, and a full serving of veggies that you cant even taste!
this is genius! i've never heard of anyone adding tofu. ... can you taste it? sounds... interesting but i would TOTALLY try it!
genius! i always have frozen bananas ready to go in case i get a hankering to make banana cake so i'm going to try it! thanks mo! and YES to creamy shakes!
Labrada makes great protein! Good suggestion!
