Well friends-today I started my day with apple pie. Not just any ordinary Apple Pie. Today I started my day with and an apple pie Green Monster. The Green Monster Challenge is still going strong! To make my apple pie monster I combined the following ingredients:
- 8oz unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
- 1 packet Amazing Grass Greens Powder
- 1 Tbs Maca Powder
- 1.5 Tbs Almond Butter
- Lots of cinnamon and nutmeg
- 1/2 Honeycrisp Apple
- Vanilla Extract
- 3 Huge handfuls of kale
- ice
I diced the apple in small pieces and nuked it in the microwave for 1 minute then added it to the mix. I also had run out of frozen bananas and had to use ice today. I wasn’t too happy about the consistency of the smoothie and will definitely be buying some bananas today. It made the smoothie really runny and tasteless. I love what the bananas do to the green monster. I also had to add lots more cinnamon and vanilla to make it taste a little better.
This definitely wasn’t the best green monster I have ever made, but I’m experiencing with different flavors. I was also a little bummed you couldn’t taste any of the almond butter. I was really looking forward to that.
I also enjoyed a mug of my coffee in the car on the way to work.
I found myself quite hungry very early today, but I did my best to hold off until lunch.
Lunch was leftovers with a spin. I took the BBQ Chicken and ‘coleslaw’ from last night and piled them on some Arnold Flax & Fiber Bread. It was like a southern BBQ sandwich. When I lived in North Carolina I experienced many BBQ places, and they would always serve the coleslaw on the bun with the pulled pork. I loved this combination so I decided to mimic it today.
A little messy, but still good!
Tonight I will be doing my second run with the Georgetown Running Co. I’m glad I have this group to motivate me because I am feeling very tired today. So now I have no excuses.
I will be picking a winner for the Oikos Giveaway today at 3pm. If you haven’t already entered just click here and leave a comment on your favorite way to eat Stonyfield Oikos yogurt. Feel free to tweet the giveaway as well. “I want to win @LaurensGourmet Awesome Oikos Giveaway”

I love when you can take leftovers and make them into a sandwich! Yours looks delicious!
You have inspired me to make a new Green Monster!
The Deep Blue-Green Monster:
1 and 1/2 cups almond milk
1 scoop whey protein powder
2 big handfuls baby spinach and/or baby greens
1 cup frozen blueberries
2 T Hemp Seeds
pinch of sea salt
1 inch pc fresh ginger, chopped
The color was beautiful! The hemp seeds give a nice nutty flavor plus Omega 3′s and protein.
I didn’t have the Greens powder, but will try that too.
Enjoy!

Mmm looks like a good sandwich!
