"Monster Drink"-Amazing Smoothie

So my mom has a bible study that meets for breakfast every Thursday morning and they were talking about eating healthy and stuff and then on of the moms says she makes a "monster drink" for her kids every morning because they don't like spinach. You can't really taste the spinach in this shake but she called it that name because it turns the drink green. Her kids don't know how healthy it is and it tastes great:-)
So i sort of created my own take on the "monster drink" and I have one every morning.
Feel free to change it up, add or subtract fruits.
Just know the reason I use a frozen banana is because it gives the drink a great creamy texture

first blend:
*1 peeled, frozen banana
*1 cup pineapple juice
*a little bit of almond breeze milk
*flax seed oil
*one scoop of your favorite protein powder (I really like hemp and vegan)

once slightly blended, add:
*1 cup fresh spinach leaves
*wheat grass (optional-it definitely gives it a different taste)

blend on high or food processor or ice crush....whatever your blender says....until smooth like a smoothie.
After drinking this I feel so energized and awake and it satisfies so many cravings.
I have also added honey to it before for sweetness, plums for a slightly tart flavor...
feel free to experiment!

hope you enjoy:-)
you are loved.
