Thinking about all the sweet and salty and high-calorie foods I've just consumed, makes me think of ways to kick my body back into healthy, real, whole foods mode.
Green Smoothies here I come.
So I found a new blog, The Lazy Organizer. Her family eats very differently than my family. You will have to read to see.
Anyway one of the things she makes is green smoothies. They sound gross, BUT I tried one today. And it wasn't gross in the least. OK the color is semi-unappealing, but the taste is really rather good.
So what is in a green smoothie you ask. I will share.
- A handful of spinach
- Some fruit fresh or frozen
- Milk to make smooth (it is a smoothie after all) **She uses water instead of milk, but I am a dairy lover.
- Ice if your using fresh fruit (I left the ice out as I was feeling lazy and the children were screaming.)
Blend and drink.
Seriously, I know drinkable spinach sounds like yuck, but it wasn't at all.
What do you like in your smoothies?
Most days we have smoothies for breakfast here in our home.
ReplyDeleteI blend together frozen strawberries, blueberries and raspberries, a banana, o.j. and vanilla yogurt.
In the'germ'season I add powdered Vit.C and acidophilus.
