So I'm trying an experiment. This is the Green Monster*. I am going to have one of these every morning for the next two weeks to see if I end up feeling any better thanks to my incredibly nutritious breakfast. Basically, after my disastrous allergy testing last week, I've starting thinking a lot about my diet and how maybe much of what I've been eating for the past 30 years has actually been really difficult for my body to digest. So, I really am trying to cut back on almost all of the stuff I'm allergic to, which leaves me with ... well, seafood and fruits and vegetables mostly. So spinach smoothie for breakfast it is!
It actually tastes ok. You can't really taste the spinach - it mostly tastes like banana. I think I'll really grow to like it. My bestie Cath has been trying to get me to try one of these for like two years now, so I guess I finally cratered.
So far no noticeable change in how I feel on Day 1, but I'm looking forward to the next few days!
*1 C vanilla almond milk
2 cups spinach
3 T ground flax seed
1/2 - 3/4 C blueberries
Frozen banana
Ice
1 T honey
Woohoo! I actually never tried it with blueberries, but did pineapple a few times. So proud.
ReplyDeleteIs this recipe from your mom? I was interested at first , but SPINACH in a smoothie?? No way...
ReplyDeleteAunt Nancy, the recipe is actually from Catherine! I resisted at first, but I LOVE them. You seriously can't taste the spinach. Give it a try!
