The Green Machine...

So I have been reading a ton of blogs lately about the Green Smoothie...

and I was taken back by how many people swear by it...

so I thought to myself...

why not?

And guess what?

It's not bad and I sorta like it...

some say that soon my body will crave the greens in it and it will become essential for me to have it every day...

I usually have cereal for breakfast and then a green shake for lunch...

and it is super satisfying...

I do mine like this:

About 1 cup ice

About 1 cup milk

1/2 banana

1/4-1/2 cup blueberries

sugar or substiture (1 Tbsp)

2 cups fresh spinach leaves

Blend the ice and milk first until smooth.  Add the fruit and sugar and blend.  Then add the spinach and blend for quite awhile...like 3-5 minutes or until it's totally smooth and you won't have to eat it with a fork.  I divide this in half and drink one half and put the other either in the fridge or freezer for the next day.

For me this is totally cool cuz I HATE to fix lunch...

and this makes it so easy for me...

Don't knock it until you try it!

Apparently it's really good for you too...
