I have got what you need.
Do you have some extra bananas that are brown and need to be pitched soon?
Or do you have 2 cups of spinach left in your Costco sized container that you are ready to get rid of your fridge?
Or maybe you need a way to get your kids to eat green veggies?
Or do you need to come up with a dish to take to a St. Patrick’s day party?
Or are you looking for a fabulous vegan banana bread recipe?
Or maybe you just need a reason to bake something?
What ever you need, this banana bread will take care of it.
You can call it Shrek bread, or Monster bread or St.Patrick’s Day Lucky Leprechaun bread.
You could call it Hulk bread or Slime bread. You can call it anything because you kids will like it.
Other good news for those who prefer, it’s vegan. No eggs. No milk. No butter.
First, start with 1c. almond milk and a little over 1 c. of fresh baby spinach.
Puree the milk and spinach in a blender or Magic Bullet until it’s smooth….and bright green.
When it’s combined, pour the batter into a greased loaf pan.
Place the bread into the oven at 350 and bake for 40-50 minutes.
When the top splits and you can pull out a knife with no batter, it’s done!
Ingredients (1 loaf)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (loosely packed)
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 2/3 c. almond milk
- 1 c. spinach
- 3-4 ripe bananas, mashed

- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 cups Trader Joe’s mulitgrain baking mix

Then start making it again because it will be gone before you know it!

I had some banana and spinach that needed to used and had the idea for a bananaspinach bread so I googled it and your recipe came up. I added avocado instead of chia seeds. It came out good!
