My second attempt at a Green Monster was significantly better than the first. On Friday, I tried making one with Greek yogurt, spinach and berries, but it was far too tangy and thick to be palatable for this first-timer. I had to throw it out, which I hate doing, but I just could not stomach it.
Attempt #2 was much better. I put 1 cup of milk, two handfuls of spinach, a frozen banana, a few frozen berries and 2 Tbsp flaxseed meal into my food processor. I don’t have a blender so the food processor has to make do. The result was a thick and creamy Green Monster. I’m not sure I am a Green Monster fanatic just yet. The taste and texture definitely takes some getting used to. You really cannot taste the spinach at all, though! I do wish I had a blender to make this smoother, but it was still good.
I took a few other photos but the quality was pretty bad 
Speaking of…I think I found the camera that I want to buy once I can afford it: the Canon PowerShot S90. Tina recently posted that her’s does particularly well in low lighting, which I think is important for taking photos in restaurants. The camera is a little pricey so I need to (a) get a full-time job offer or (b) have a wonderful family member give it to me as a graduation gift (cough, Dad). 
The Violet Ball was fun last night though I am feeling a little hungover today. Meh. Here are a few photos!
Enjoy the remainder of your weekend
