Trying to eat healthy can be a challenge, especially in the morning when your faced with bacon, cereals and what I call "Death" fast food... Here's my own twist on a recipe I got from a good health eating buddy. I call it:
Its Easy Being Green Smoothie:
In a blender:
handful of fresh spinach
a few of your fav frozen fruit
a scoop your favorite protein powder (optional)
1 flax pack (or about 3 tbls milled flax seed)
1 cup Almond Milk (try the vanilla light flavor if you can find it)
a few cubes of ice
Blend on high till smoothiefied (is that a word?) Yes, it will look like pureed advacodo's but it will taste great! Promise!
Drink and enjoy!
Not only do you get the morning energy of spinach and your protein powder, but you get the advantages of Omega 3 for your heart from the flax pack. Play around with it and see what you can come up with!
Oh, and yes, that is a "Happiness Hotel" glass!

BTW, a fellow weight looser ran out of spinach. She used broccoli instead! I tried it out and it worked great! So mix it up, try new things.
