Green monster

So the other day on Pintrest i decided to make a board for "Body Image" in it i have put all kinds of pictures and quotes and recipes that inspire me and my weight loss goals.  One of those was a recipe for a drink called Classic Green Monster, it linked me to  http://ohsheglows.com/2011/01/13/classic-green-monster/ where she had a GREAT way to get some more veggies into your day.  This drink is loaded with ALL kinds of good for you things.  In fact SO many, that i didn't think to look it up on my Weight Watchers plan.  On a whim i did today.  This drink is 13 points, all by itself.  I get 29 points a day.  Now, i do have to say i use a VERY good grade of peanut butter, in fact i use almond butter, adding that much more good for you stuff.  So that add's some of the points.  And i do have to admit, it does fill you up, without making you feel full.  Oddly enough, you get a 2 point hit for the Chia seeds (which admittedly i went into that ingredient blindly, won't do that again) after i look up what Chia seeds are, i laughed.  They are basically little itty bitty balls of FAT, good for you fats, like omega 3, but still fat.  They also have antioxidants, protein, fiber, iron, magnesium, vitamin B, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, copper, zinc, the list goes on.   So all in all this drink IS good for you......but is it worth the points......I am going to test it this week and see how i do.
