We are almost to the end of our Green Smoothie Challenge! I hope everyone is doing well. Today was a good day. I got to sleep in until about 7:30 and the extra sleep was definitely needed. I decided to try and drink a green smoothie before I exercised as well as right after. I wondered if it would be too much in my stomach, but it actually really helped keep my energy up as I was riding the stationary bike. I guess because it's blended food, the body doesn't have to use much energy to digest it, so it's really just pure energy for the exercise. I thought that was cool. I've heard of people that run long distances, drinking green smoothies and eating bananas while they run. I'll have to try it out when I get into my long runs in a couple of months.
Today my smoothies were: pineapple, grapes, blackberries, and strawberries with mixed spring salad mix. They were quite delicious! I had a snack of a banana and a couple blood oranges. For lunch I had a green salad. When I got home I had another green smoothie and some berry ice cream (fresh bananas blended with frozen mixed berries). Everything was quite satisfying!
Tomorrow I will be sending out the information for next weeks Green Smoothie Challenge. I'm still deciding what I want to do.
Have a good weekend!
