Best spinach protein shake!!

I am not a "juicer".  And I have never been able to jump on the "green smoothie" bandwagon.  Every one of those I have tried have NOT tasted good to me.

But this one.  This one is good.  And I don't own a Vitamix or a Blendtec (is that what it's called).  I just use a regular old blender and it works fine.

This is what I drink after a good workout.
It's an adapted recipe from the book "Fit2Fat2Fit" (which is a really interesting book by the way).

Spinach Protein Shake

2-3 cups of spinach (I just grab a few handfuls and shove them on the bottom of the blender)
3/4 C almond milk (or you could use regular milk)
1 scoop vanilla whey protein (I get a big bag of this at Costco)
1/2 banana
1 Tbsp peanut butter (I use Skippy natural)
1-2 cups of ice (this makes it cold, obviously, and thicker)

Mix it all up!

Looks nasty.  Tastes gooooood!!!  (Like, good good, not "healthy" good.  Trust me)
