Reminder - Green Smoothie Challenge

December 31, 2009

Good Morning!

This is a reminder that I am starting a Green Smoothie Challenge on Sunday, December 3, 2010. To prepare for the challenge, I wanted to send a list of the things you will need to succeed.

1. Good blender. I have a Blendtec, but any blender will work.
2. Plenty of greens. It's best to rotate the greens you are eating on a regular basis, but for one week, using one kind of greens will work fine.
3. Lots of fresh, ripe fruit. There are a lot of yummy combinations of fruit and greens to make the smoothies delicious! Find some good recipes that you can use regularly that you will thoroughly enjoy.

Here are some awesome recipes that I enjoy.

Banana Kiwi Smoothie
2 bananas
4 kiwis
1 bunch of kale or spinach
2 cups of water (or however much will make it the consistency you would like)

Pineapple delight
1/2 pineapple
2 bananas
1 bunch of spinach
2 cups of water (or however much will make it the consistency you would like)

Best Smoothie Ever :)
Some grapes
Some blueberries
Some strawberries
1 mango
As much greens as you can fit in your blender
Some water

I'll send an email out on Saturday to make sure everyone is ready for the Green Smoothie Challenge! Thanks for joining me! This is going to be a great week!!!
