GREEN MONSTER SMOOTHIE... smooth, refreshing and FULL of vitamins and good-for-you fruits and veggies! The reason this one is brown instead of green (like the traditional green monster smoothie) is because of the added strawberries and blueberries- those colors together give you….brown.
What is a green monster smoothie, you ask? It’s basically just a fruit smoothie with the addition of fresh spinach (an addition you can’t taste, but your body will thank you for!). Spinach is high in calcium, vitamin A and iron, to name a small few. This smoothie is a great solution for people wanting to get their daily fill of fresh fruits and vegetables; it’s SO good for you...
The beauty in these smoothies is that you can use any fruit you like- bananas, strawberries, peaches, plums…whatever! They make a great breakfast or quick power lunch and keep you full and satisfied!
Green Monster Smoothie
1 banana, roughly chopped
4 or 5 strawberries
1/2 cup fresh blueberries
1 small peach, peeled and roughly chopped
1 heaping cup (or more) fresh spinach leaves, thoroughly rinsed
splash vanilla soy milk
1 tablespoon Greek yogurt
2 teaspoons honey
1/2 cup crushed ice
Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Serve immediately.
This recipe makes a very large smoothie- two could easily share.

So here's how it goes:
So this is how I got to hear about Tyra's new venture, Type F.
Basically, you login, fill out a somewhat detailed physical profile of yourself (you may even upload a photo) and once you're done, the website contunues to provide you with content custom to your needs or your look.
I kind of love this idea.
It's not totally original but it has her name on it and it's sort of written and operated so simply that a dummy could get into it...
Mind you, there's still plenty of TYRA on the site. No one loves Tyra more than TYRA. (Did you hear she's dropping her last name, BTW? She's like Madonna and Cher, you know.)
So I'd tell you to check this site out... except like I said, Tyra annoys the crapoutta me.
(Ok, you can check it out, but you didn't hear it from me.)
Who knew?!
In the wake of one of my posts yesterday, Majorie commented on the Facebook wall that in fact, Lane Bryant DOES NOT have every size -- there are actually some limitations when you get into the larger sizes...
And she referred me to HerRoom.com, which I'd never heard of, and surfed in wonderment. It's fabulous! Not only do they sell a huge array of sizes, there's a lot of variety -- something that is often lacking in plus sizes, especially in lingerie!
So have at it, ladies.
