First, thank you to everyone who commented on my green smoothie post the other day. You guys are the bomb! I tried your suggestions and my smoothies are soooooo much yummier now.
Apples help big time, as does vanilla-unsweetened almond milk. I also cut down on the amount of kale I was using (I was putting in ALOT) and that made it less grassy and less chewy. Both good things.
Here is my Green Smoothie Recipe now:
1/2 cup (or so) unsweetened vanilla almond milk
1 small organic apple
1 banana
1 large kale leaf
A few berries
A surprise bonus with these green smoothies is that they are not only filling but really stick with you. I have had one 3 mornings this week and they got me through my morning run each time. Amazing!
To anyone out there who is reading, or has read, or is thinking about reading The Beauty Detox Solution: I would love to share notes with you along the way. Leave a comment below or email me at liz(at)organicbeautysource(dot)com so we can compare notes and I will write about it as we go. Promise not to share any personal info, okay? We can do this together.
I will say that yesterday, even though my smoothie got me through most of the morning (run and all), I really felt unsatisfied in the afternoon on only fruits and veg. Craved bread or a cookie badly! We will see how today goes...
