So a couple years ago I entered the behemoth "Green Monster" shake in that Fitcast contest. Well, I have a tastier version here, which I've been playing around with over the last week (with the holiday time crunches and all).

In the blender:

12 oz. water
30g unflavored whey protein
1/2 avocado
1 medium apple
1/2 pound fresh spinach
1/2 cup pumpkin
1/8 cup almonds
honey, nutmeg, cinnamon according to taste

The avocado and pumpkin provide the texture, and the pumpkin and spices dominate the flavoring. Good stuff, even if it looks like a bottle full of green sludge!
