So it has been over 2 weeks since I started the Green Monster challenge and I have to say that it has really made a huge difference in my day to day.

Overall…

• I have more energy
• I’m sleeping better
• I’ve lost 5 lbs (Whoo Hoo!!)

Those three things alone are enough to make me keep going with the Green Monsters. So things kicked off again this morning with a Chocolate Strawberry Green Monster.

Chocolate Strawberry Monster

• 1% Chocolate Milk
• Fresh Strawberries
• Frozen Banana
• Amazing Chocolate Super Food
• Dark Chocolate Drinking Chocolate
• Crap Load of Spinach

I have to say, I love this smoothie! I’ve been drinking it during lunch which is usually a very stressful part of my day and the smoothie keeps me healthy. When I really want to reach for cookies or some type of sugar to get me going through the tough meeting in the day, I’ve been grabbing a smoothie. With the bit of chocolate, it’s sweet and satisfying.

For dinner I made one of my favorites, Chicken Feta Burgers. I topped the Chicken Feta burger with some string cheese, ketchup, spinach all on a whole wheat hamburger bun.

These are seriously incredible. I’ll post the exact recipe later, but I promise you, it’s life changing. If you need an alternative to a beef hamburger, this is it.

I paired it with some super sweet watermelon (sorry the picture looks like cantaloupe).

…and on a sweeter note I finally cracked into this bomb package that MyBlogSpark sent me from Cascadian Farms.

The kit included a great selection of cereals, granolas, and granola bars. I’ve already eaten most of the chocolate chip granola bars and the Cinnamon Crunch. I promise you the Cinnamon Crunch tastes just like your super sugary Cinnamon Toast Crunch. However, I loved this more since it wasn’t quite as sweet and organic!

I’ve been eating the Cinnamon Crunch for dessert…without milk.

Don’t judge me. It’s just that good.
