Green Smoothie Leftover Day!

Hello Green Smoothie Makers,

Today is one of those days that I was all excited about getting over to the farmers market to get some fresh greens to make my green smoothie. The morning ended up getting away from me starting with a 7:15am conference call on blogging which certainly inspired me to write this entry today.

So the farmers market will have to wait until Wednesday and I'll just have to use up some of the awesome greens and fruits I already have in the fridge this morning to make my green smoothie.

I'll call it the Left over Green Smoothie!

I always seem to end up with a few leafs of kale here or a partial bunch of spinach there that sits in my fridge for a day or two. You know the little bits of greens that I couldn't fit in my blender yesterday or the day before. I can usually fit a whole head of lettuce or bunch of spinach into my super power 3 horse power blender but sometimes there is just a little left.

Today my leftover ingredients were as follows:


About one quarter of a head of Napa Cabbage

Three leaves of dark green Dino Kale

Three small bunches of Spinach

One crisp Pink Lady apple

One big old banana

Because of the power of my monster blender I don't peel, or seed any of the fruit I use so the apple seeds and skin get blended right up with the rest of it. The nutrient value of skins and seeds is something I don't want to miss. I haven't used banana peel yet cause it is just too darn bitter and I like a tasty smoothie.

All these left over goodies blended with 12 ounces of clean clear H20 made for a delicious green smoothie that will give me all kinds of mental clarity and energy for the day I have ahead of me.

If you are brand new to the idea of drinking green smoothies, please get started! You will love what happens to your mind and body by getting such amazing nutrition. You can learn all about how to make them, the best blenders to use, and why you would want to drink them at a site I put together here: www.TheGreenSmoothie.com

Green Smoothies are simple, delicious, fun for the whole family and will change your life and health in ways you may not have imagined possible.

Enjoy!

On The Road with The Green Smoothie And My Super Power Blender!

Today was one of those days where I had a bunch of fun stuff to do like go to the gym at the crack of dawn, take a quick trip by the farmers market to gather some freshly picked leafy greens for my green smoothie of the day, take a trip up the highway to help a friend get started packing for a move and then back home for an appointment and now here in fron of my computer to write you this story.

It's one of those days that having green smoothies in my life really makes a difference. It is also very nice to be able to stop at just about any market, produce stand or farmers market and pick up my green smoothie ingredients for a vitamin rich quick drink that I can make on the go.

I have a really easily portable blender that I carry with me and all I need is a plug, my fruits and greens and a glass and I am free to blend wherever I am.

There is a picture and info link at the top of my blog here to the blender I use which you can learn more about at my site at http://www.thegreensmoothie.com/. I use this Blend Tec blender because it is the most powerful blender on the market and I like to blend up things like avocado pits for their high soluable fiber value. This blender turns the pit into the smoothest drink immaginable and I love it!

So I'm out there on the road after a work out, I haven't had a bite to eat cause I like to start my days out with a bunch of fresh clear water, and now I'm beginning to feel the need for some nutrition.

I've got my blender with me and a bag of blueberries, bananas and an apple so when I get to my friends house I just blend up a green smoothie. It's as simple as that.

That is what I love. It is so darn easy!

I get about a weeks worth of greens and fruits in my body by most peoples standards and I immediately feel like a million bucks, energized and ready to pack and move boxes. Fun! And I do this everyday no matter where I am.

It's a wonderful thing the Green Smoothie and they taste so good that it's never an issue of forcing down some terrible tasting green drink. They are pretty crazy green looking but the fruit in the smoothie always overrides the taset of the nutritious leafy greens.

Give them a try! Get your kids to drink them. I guarantee you will feel great and your health and your childrens health will improve.

Here is a good site to start with: http://www.thegreensmoothie.com/

Let me know if you have any questions!

Here's to your Health!
