I'm pretty in love with fuit or veggie drinks right now. I have them as my actual meal or as a snack. Just fill a water bottle up with juice and I'm set. I love them at work to keep myself from snacking on other things. I love them in my car. I love them everywhere. Snacking on vegetables has never been my thing. I try sometimes because I feel like I have to. But something magical happens when you blend your food up into a liquid mess. Then I WANT to have it.
I made myself a green smoothie this morning. Anything that I could find in my fridge that was green passed the test.
red kale
celery
pear
sprouts
broccoli
banana
cucumber
ice cubes
water
Warning: It took me a long time to acquire a taste for a drink like that.
I started making smoothies originally with yogurt and fruit only, then slowly started adding vegetables that weren't strong tasting. I started figuring out which combinations I could stomach (bananas go a long way in covering up other tastes).
Now I'm at a point where I actually crave those healthy shots to my body. Especially if I didn't eat so good the day before. It's like my body is screaming for some veggies again. Kale! Spinach! It's a good place to be at.
...yum! :)
