Look Ma we're eating our veggies....well sort of

I've made a conscious effort to eat better.  Ok well.  Maybe I'm not giving my potato chip addiction nor my addiction to french fries. Oh and I do love eating chocolate and have a sweet tooth.

Well .... let me re-phrase that..... I've decided that I am going to make myself a smoothie for breakfast in the morning.  Seeing as I don't have a lot of time in the morning and I spend a lot of my time stuck in traffic, I thought it would be a great idea to be sitting in rush hour sipping a nice and healthy smoothie!

I used to swear by the Greens super powder when I was diligent about working out and eating healthy.  So I went and picked up a large container of Greens.  I am always trying to eat more veggies and more salads but sometimes those fries just call my name.   I think this is a good alternative :)

Here are some awesome recipes that we have tried the past couple of weeks.

Kiwi, Kale & Banana Recipe

1 ripe banana peeled

1 large orange peeled and seedless

2 cups of raw kale

2 Kiwi peeled

1 scoop of Greens

1/2 cup crushed ice

1 cup of liquid (almond milk or orange juice).

Place all ingredients into a high speed blender.  Blend till smooth. 

Yummy!!!! I prefer it with almond milk as the OJ was a bit too acidic for me.
