So this mornings smoothie was not as good as I would have liked it to be. But I am feeling a little under the weather, so that probably attributed to it. It is not that I disliked it, but ummm it was interesting. I have never had a smoothie with kale in it, this morning was the first time. I think next time I will puree the kale first. My blender is pretty junky and it sort of felt like I was drinking thick lettuce. YUCK! So I blended it for about 4 more minutes and it was much better.
However, even though I am on the brink of sickness, I feel pretty good. Starting the day off with a 'green' smoothie was a great feeling. I am a diet pepsi addict (an addiction I am trying to kick) and yesterday I drank very little diet pepsi (for me)...My goal is at the end of the 30 days of smoothies, I am completely diet pepsi free.
Here is todays recipe:
2 handfuls Strawberries, 3/4 banana, two handfuls romaine, 1 stalk kale, 1/4 lime and water.
Tomorrow I am going for something more tropical, definitely adding in some wonderful Minneola Tangerines we got yesterday.

Hey there! Just wanted to pop in and say that it's possible you are experiencing detox symptoms. These symptoms will often feel like the flu or like a cold and can last 3-5 days. So, don't be discouraged...keep it up. The best thing you can do is just keep going. Congrats on taking this step to better your health...
And yes, blend, blend, blend. Kale is a little more fibrous than spinach, and will take a bit longer to smoothify :)

Well, day number 2!!! I had a spinach, peach, strawberry and yogurt smoothie, a bit more green then the day before and a lot more filling! I am also thinking tropical for tomorrow! LOVE IT!
Ohhh...how I miss you in all your pepsi addict glory. I even miss taking little trips to the gas station to get you your huge pepsi! I only did it once or twice, but it was such a privilege! lol. Well, I am serious girl. I miss you more than ever. Write, call, or visit SOON! XOXOXO!
I wish I had time to do this. Mornings are just a mad rush to get ready and to work on time. Evenings are the gym, dinner, and bed time, then get up and REPEAT it all again.
But it sounds cool :)
good luck!
