I started this 30-day Green Smoothie challenge today! Woo hoo!
I started making green smoothies a couple of weeks ago as an addition to my normal daily routine. I wanted to get as much greens and nutrients as possible and what could be better than in one pretty yummy drink.
I'm addicted now. Despite David's disapproving and mildly disgusted stares as I'm blending and enjoying my drinks; they actually are quite delicious. He swears he'll never drink one but we'll see. I'm also practicing patience this month....wink-wink.
Anyway, I've been using spinach and avocado as my greens right now. I'm a beginner - remember guys. I like to add fruits like bananas, frozen peaches, strawberries, mangos, etc. I also throw in some ice, some water, and at times a little splash of organic orange juice. On top, I like to sprinkle some chia seeds for added nutrients and then voilaaaa....tangy and so yummy.
The 30-day Green smoothie challenge is a fun way to introduce a healthy aspect to your diet and sticking to it for a month. A nice detox from all those weekend binges and happy hours, right? (mine is more from all of the weekend cupcakes and pizza..I like to eat my calories instead of drinking them!)
So, I challenge you guys to try it if you like. Who knows...something that may seem 'not so' appetizing, may actually be something you enjoy...once you get past the awkward green color. A Shrek smoothie. come on, try it : ) Go to simplegreensmoothie.com and check it out.
Happy Monday and April Fool's Day : )
I am going to most definitely try this. Maybe even tonight, I need to get spinach though I ran out. I always have avocado hahahah but seriously I need a new solution to my diet. This may be it. (My workouts are good at least)
