2 Weeks of Delicious Green Smoothies - with weekly shopping list
Alright folks, time to GREEN up your life! You can find the first week of smoothies on the Club MomMe website or be immediately directed to the page by clicking HERE
Most of us are seriously lacking some vegetables and fruit in our diets. In this super-sized, over-processed, fast food world we live in...some basic fruits and veggies first thing in the morning can change your day (and your life) completely.
Here are two weeks worth of smoothie recipes, and the shopping lists for each one.
A few tips:
-I suggest chopping everything up and sticking into a mason jar (or zip-lock bag) without the fluid. each morning, dump the contents into you blender, add the fluid (coconut water, almond milk, etc) and blend. It's much easier to spend half an hour once a week and only havblend do the actual blending in the am.
-if you don't have a strong blender, first blend greens and fluid, then add fruit.
-use at least one frozen fruit, like a banana (but make sure to take it oufirst the skin first) for a smooth consistency
-if you don't like bananas, use mangoes and vice versa. They make smoothies sweet and creamy...so use one or another.
-shoot for half greens, half fruit, fwith halfway water fluid for a smooth consistency.
So, without further adieu...
