Green Smoothies

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

Yes, there's a baby....NO I don't have time to blog much....

Yes I had my baby, she was born on October 28th. She is 8 weeks old today. I've been so busy that I don't have much time to blog, but I had many of you start posting comments that you were still checking my blog and hadn't heard anything in awhile, let alone a picture of the new baby....so I thought I should stop by.

I've actually been using Facebook so much because you can put a quick status and don't have to write paragraphs of information....less time consuming. But I can try to post pics here sometimes, and remember to come and write some of the funny things my boys say!

[I will post pics as soon as I can, my blogger isn't acting right]
