Salad Smoothie To Go





Day 45

Ok I know we have already made a smoothie, BUT...my goal was to find ways to eat healthy without feeling chained to the everyday boring salad. We run around like crazy, rushing out the door and often fail to get all the nutrients we need in a day. By the picture, you may be a touch apprehensive about including green things to your blender concoction. I don't blame you. But blending some spinach, kale, romaine or other leafy greens with fresh fruit is a great way to bring your salad on the go. Play with the ratios and find the measurements that you like. If you like it sweeter, you'll want to add fruits like mango, papaya, strawberries, and pineapple. For a juice-like consistency, add water to the fruits and vegetables. For a more icy drink, use ice cubes instead. Blend and Boom! You've just eaten so many fabulous nutrients. You're body is loving you right now.
