Green drinks

[pookybear 284]

So I've been lacking in Fiber, as most of us probably are. I've decided to start having 'green' drinks for Breakfast. I had one yesterday and another today. Strawberries, raspberries, 1/2 banana, and spinach. I'm going to pick up some Chia seeds this weekend to start adding them as well. I created 3 recipes that are high in fiber and acceptable calories for a meal. I'm already feeling a little better having them the past 2 days. Anyone try these or have smoothie recipes to share?

Kale (or spinach), beet, carrot and apple. Good secret- Throw a green apple or a kiwi in with anything and you'll never taste the "green" stuff!

pineapple can also make any of it taste good! It's very overpowering but tasty!

That's not too many carbs? A couple of times in the past few days I got Immunizer™ from juice It Up: Apple, cucumber, spinach, celery, kale, lemon. Then, not wanting to spend $6 a pop, I picked up the ingredients to do Mean Green: cucumber, celery, apple, kale, lemon and ginger.

I've never been told to watch my carbs. I do try to limit Pasta and bread, though.

Today I have this one:

1/2 pear

1/2 banana

1 cup spinach

1/3 cup organic rolled oats

1/2 tbsp chia seeds

The drinks are definitely helping with the #2 situation! I recommend it for anyone who has bathroom issues and can tolerate fruit.< /p>

I did try adding a scoop of Protein Powder yesterday. My powder is vanilla flavored and made it way too sweet. Might work with an unflavored one, though.

What part of the beet do you use? The greens or the beet itself?
