Day 3, 4, 5, 6

The past few days have been made up of lots of smoothies or "SUPER FOOD" as my boys like to call them. Any of you who have thought that maybe I am lying and these smoothies really taste like dirt, I have major proof that they really do taste good.

Day 3, 4 and 5 was Orange, Banana, Spinach Smoothie. And today was a Orange, Banana, Raspberry, Spinach Smoothie. Both are yummy!

Oh and I have a new trick. If there is left over smoothie, I pour it into an ice cube tray, freeze it and add it to the next days smoothie.

Day Two.

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.

Green Smoothie Challenge!

*We have been out of town and I have lots to blog about, but can't seem to find enough time to do it, so I am jumping in here and will talk about our trip and what we have been up to the past 10 days later :)

As of today I am on the Green Smoothie Challenge. Thanks to Sara of Happy Foody, Walk Slowly, Live Wildly and The Live Lightly Tour for challenging us (as in the whole world, hehe) to drink a 16oz Green Smoothie each day for the next thirty days.

This morning I awoke and made a banana, mango, strawberry, romaine and spinach smoothie. It didn't *look* green, but it tasted a little green. It was oh so yummy.

I am so excited to be teaming up with my mom and best friend for this challenge. I am excited to see how we all change over the next 30 days!

It's not to late to join, come on you know you want to!
