Green Smoothie Review and other stuff....

So, today I tried out KELLY O'S GREEN SMOOTHIE....Well, it's not really her smoothie-it's from the DETOX FOR WOMEN book by Natalia Rose. I made a few small changes though. Here is my recipe:

1 cup water
handful spinach
blend
carrot
juice of lemon
1/2 cucumber
blend
1/4 cup berries
1 tsp ground flax
1 tsp of almond butter
1 tsp Life Stream Ultimate Greens (w/organic Spirulina, organic Barley Grass & Chlorella)


Verdict: It looks disgusting (hence no photo! LOL), But it's not bad...Next time I will put in more berries and maybe some honey too-I think sweetening more will help immensely! But knowing how healthy it is really helps too-LOL!

AAAAnnnnd look!


I'm going to grow my own sprouts for salads and vegetarian dishes-straight from the tray to the plate! Crossing fingers that I don't kill them...I have been known to have a brown thumb LOL!

That's it!
Hope everyone has a healthy and strong day!

Go girl!! I think the green smoothie thing is totally a work in progress. I just bought a Breville juicer but - I don't think that is for greens....so now I think I may need a Vitamix. The smoothies TOTALLY taste better with some fruit and/or some sweetener of some kind....I'm gonna email Jenna at Eat Live Run to ask her about some of her recipes..the combos are unlimited and yes it feels GREAT to do this.....

I believe even a TWO year old can grow sprouts! I have seen them at Kindys all over the place, so you should be alright! Brown thumb or not.
