Day Thirty One

WOOHOO!! We've made it a month! What have you noticed? Do you have more energy? Does your skin look younger? Are you overall less bloated, less fatigued? Are you able to focus and concentrate better? I want to hear the changes you've experienced by adding green smoothies into your diet. Today's smoothie is not my favorite, but its not bad. Its very thick and very satisfying. I'm not sure I'll be able to drink a whole pint at a time. Here we go:

• 1 avocado *
• 3 mango spears (pre cut, bought at Costco)
• 1 lb bag frozen pineapple
• 2 bananas
• 2 clementine oranges, peeled
• 3 cups water
• 3-4 basil leaves
• boatload of spinach
• ICE

*yes, a whole avocado. yes, its a lot of fat. yes, its a good fat. yes, it will help you ~lose~ fat.

Day Twenty seven

Phew, better late than never, eh? At 8:45 tonight I still hadn't had one drop of smoothie. And I could tell. It was just a busy day and I wasn't really hungry for most of it, so I just never got around to making one. But my energy levels were in the dumps. Anyway, I made the smoothie and drank the entire quart at one time. I feel like I could float away.....

• couple handfuls of red grapes
• a few frozen pineapple chunks (to get them out of the freezer)
• a bunch of frozen mixed berries
• collard greens
• spinach
• banana
• agave
• water
• a few basil leaves (wow, a little goes a loooooonngg way)

And there you have it. Enough for one pint for my husband and one quart for me.
