I am taking the green smoothie fourteen-day challenge again! In April, 2010 I took this same challenge and was so impressed with the results that it converted me into a green smoothie lover for life. I will list all the smoothies for each day of the challenge, however, if you are doing this with me I would suggest you register using the above link. You'll be able to receive more detail information on the food and maybe answer some of your questions.
Summer is in full swing, hot and humid where I live, creating a perfect opportunity to do this challenge because of all the awesome fruits and vegetable in season at the moment . My goal is to lose about 15 pounds by August 14th, to feel more energy and to get that fresh looking glow that you get by detoxing.
What really supported me in this challenge last year was to receive the daily recipes. It served as a reminder and also gave me something to look forward to because everyday was different. Included in the daily email is encouragement and wisdom.
So wish me luck, it is my first day! If you want to join me, today we are drinking:
- ½ romaine (cos) lettuce
- 3 bananas
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup raspberries
- 3 hand full of baby spinach
- 2 cups of water
- 4/5 Kale leaves
- 3 apples
- 1/2 lemon juiced
- 2 cups of water
I bought a blendtec!!! It was a bit pricey but so worth it. It is very cool, quick, and makes the most amazing smoothies. Hubby thinks I have a blender addiction. I don't. I have everything I need and I think, I won't have to buy another blender. Maybe.
Day 3
Really, you can't taste the spinach and even kids will love this one!Day 3
- 2 -3 cups of grapes
- 1 handfull of parsley
- 2 handfull of baby spinach
- 2 cups of water
I didn't have grapes on hand, so I used cherries (in season and so juicy).
Day 4
- 1 cup of raspberries
- 1 cup of blueberries
