Green Smoothie Challenge

Day #1

Today starts my Green Smoothie Challenge for the month of February.  This shouldn't be so tough for me since I LOVE raw foods and I LOVE smoothies. 

The Challenge:  Replace my normal breakfast with a green smoothie every day. (Apx. 16oz.)

The only day that will be tough for me is Sunday.  My mom cooks breakfast for us on Sunday before church.  It will be extremely difficult to watch everyone else eat bacon and eggs and my homemade biscuits as I sip on a my green smoothie.  I LOVE biscuits too.

Well... here it goes.

Today's recipe: 

1 cup of red grapes

2 small oranges

1 lemon

1/2 granny smith apple

1 banana

1/2 of a thick slice of pineapple

8 frozen strawberries

1/2 cup of frozen blueberries

A BUNCH OF SPINACH (apx. 2 cups)

2 cups of ice

Liquify.

Pour into cups.

This one did not turn out 'green'.
The blueberries help to mask the green color.

I must share.  My girls LOVE green smoothies - especially this recipe.

The one in the jar is saved in the fridge.  It will be just as yummy tomorrow, but will probably won't last that long.

Drink while you check your email... or facebook... or blog.

Who's going to join me?
