Green Smoothies... Success!

Okay, I totally planned to get stuff to start making green smoothies earlier in the week, but I ended up not being able to do so until yesterday. I am going to be honest with you all, I used to roll my eyes at the people who would upload pictures to Facebook and be like "LOOK HOW HEALTHY I AM! *rolls around in pile of healthy food and green smoothies*" Because how rude for you to do that while I'm trying to shove this cake in my face, for real.

However, I have completely recognized that I do not eat veggies or fruits like I'm supposed to. I mean, I don't mind veggies....I just don't think about them, or feel like making them. And being a person who doesn't eat salad dressing (barf), salads are lost on me. I mean, would you just sit around eating some lettuce? (If you would, stop, it's weird.) So I decided I'd give this a try.

So we went to Costco and stocked up:

 And actually, the first thing we made was some orange sorbet last night!

It was delish and super easy: 2 oranges, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 3 cups of ice. SERIOUSLY. (I bet raspberries or strawberries would be fantastic too!)

Today for breakfast I had an orange & banana smoothie  and some oatmeal. I feel like I used too many oranges, so I would just use one next time and it would be perfect!

Lunch's smoothie was the BEST so far (I mean, I've only made two so do with that what you will)

Apple, Banana, PB smoothie:

1 red apple (minus core)

1 banana

1 tablespoon crunchy peanut butter

1 huge handful of spinach

1 cup of ice

Enjoy!

*Makes 2 mason jars full!*

(I also had veggie pasta with fat-free mozzarella cheese!)

I hope everyone can see from my 'recipe' how easy it is to make these and get your fruits and veggies in for the day! This was a total success and I can't wait to keep making more. (I'm doing them with Breakfast and Lunch)

And guess what else?? I weighed in on Saturday to 3 more pounds lost!

Beginning weight: 352.6

Current weight: 343.6

Total loss: -9 pounds

So tell me, what new healthy thing will you try this week?
