Back to Green Smoothies

Sometimes it's important to stick with habits that you know work, not look for some new thing. 

So a few weeks ago, I stopped drinking green smoothies for breakfast. Why? 

Because our blender broke. It wasn't the long-run plan. 

Yesterday, I drank my first green smoothie in weeks and was so happy. 

The green smoothie is packed with mega nutrients per cubic inch. If you have never had one I very much recommend you try.

The one con is the blender. You need a high quality blender. We use the Vita-mix. They are pricey. 

By the way, they are a great company that stands by their product. We are a large family with two adults and five boys. The Vita-mix is used more than any appliance in the kitchen. We have used ours roughly for more than a decade. We got a good deal from the company on a rebuilt model. 

And we are back in business.

Here's how you do a great green smoothie:

• start with a great blender
• use excellent greens - most beginners use spinach
• make it tasty with good fruit (mango, pineapple, bananna) 
• add some water

Wanna lose weight and feel your best. Try the green smoothie every day for a while. There are hundreds of recipes online, so you won't get bored. I drink 2 pints of it a day; one in the morning, one at night.

What's your favorite green smoothie recipe.
