The Newlywed Life

Hi, I'm Aly! Welcome to where I share my thoughts on working out, food, fashion and all things pretty. I am striving to balance a career that I love with being a wife, friend and hopeful marathoner. Thanks for visiting - I hope you stay awhile.

My first Green Monster

I’d read about these “Green Monster” smoothies on a number of blogs and last night, after an amazing hot yoga class, I had my first one.

I followed the classic Green Monster recipe from Oh She Glows, although I ommitted the ice cubes as I was relying on my mini food processor to be a blender.

The verdict? It is awfully green and thick but overall, I loved it!
