We're on a health kick over in our household. I recently purged our pantry, fridge, freezer of all "bad" food. Out went the chips, crackers, candy and other junk that somehow accumulates. Eating like this makes grocery day much easier! Basically I buy cheese, cottage cheese, 5 dozen eggs, yogurt, fresh fruits, fresh veggies, milk, nuts, whole grain cereals, tortillas, oatmeal and that's just about it.
Anyway, my friend "AN" recently shared a recipe with me for "Green Smoothies" and it is yummy, and healthy. Gives me the sweet for my sweet tooth without compromising the calories, PLUS it's 100% healthy!
Green Smoothie
1 c frozen strawberries
1 frozen banana (although I used a non-frozen and it was fine)
2 c fresh baby spinich
1 c orange juice
Blend strawberries and bananna with 1/2 c juice, then add spinich and remaining juice.
Green Smoothie #2
1 c orange juice
1/2 c frozen strawberries
1/2 c frozen mango
2 c baby spinich
Blend juice and 1 fruit at a time ending with spinich
Not so "Green" Smoothie #3
2 c spinich
1 c OJ
1 banana
1 c bluberries
Blend juice and 1 fruit at a time ending with spinich
***Alternate: replace 1c blueberries with 1/2c blueberries and 1/2c strawberries
