Motivation Monday goes Green!

Well good Monday to you! I hope your weekend was as great as mine. Saturday was spent outside enjoying the sunshine and company of good friends...oh and there was a craw fish broil going on! But, today it's back to the weekly routine and I found the perfect motivation when I came across The 7-Day Green Smoothie Challenge. These wonderful ladies put together a fun way to get in you greens!

I hope this motivates you to spice things up in your diet this week! It can be as easy as adding a green smoothie =)

My morning started with a refreshing simply green smoothie. 

 PREPARING TIPS:

PROCESS GREENS FIRST WITH SOY MILK

KEEP BLENDING FOR A GOOD 30 SECONDS IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE BEST BLENDER

THEN ADD IN FRUIT MIXTURE

IF THE BLENDER IS AT A HALT AND NOT PROCESSING ANYMORE YOU MAY NEED TO ADD SOME WATER, ABOUT 1/2 CUP

NUTRITION TIPS

COWS MILK AND SOY MILK IS MORE NUTRITIOUS THEN ALMOND MILK

7-8 GRAMS PROTEIN/CUP COMPARED TO 1 GRAM PROTEIN/CUP =(

FROZEN IS JUST AS NUTRITIOUS AS FRESH (IF NOT MORE) SINCE FRESH PRODUCE HAS TO TRAVEL IT CONTINUES TO RIPEN AND LOOSES A LOT OF VITAMIN C
