Eat to Live Drink your Greens!?

This mornings breakfast is based on the Drink your Greens recipe from the Eat to Live Book. Most smoothies are open to change to suit your taste. This isn't a "new" recipe but more of a technical recipe. See my husband and I make smoothies using the same ingredients but mine are much smoother. I promise you won't even realize you are drinking spinach!!
I use a Ninja Prep system I purchased at Kmart for 40$. It was an excellent investment that works much better than your standard blender. First I add approx 3 handfuls of baby spinach. I pulse the spinach until it is very fine. Next I add 1 banana broken into pieces, 1tbsp ground flaxseed, 1 1/2 cups of frozen fruit(today I used a blend of mango.pineapple,strawberry) 1/2 c of POM, 1/4c of orange juice (be sure it's pure oj with no added sugar) and 1/4 c of almond milk. Pulse a few times until the frozen fruit is cut up then blend until smooth. YUM this one is so refreshing!!

Play with paper or food..

I'd really rather be playing with the new workshop kit Chantilly from "close to my heart" stephherndon.ctmh.com BUT this diet we are on is eating up all of my free time! Have you ever heard of Eat to live? It's a great book and way of eating, but wow! No easy dinners here. So much peeling and chopping. The rewards have been great though. Yes we have lost weight, but for me NO MIGRAINES for 3 weeks now! Absolutely Amazing!! In the days to come I will be sharing my recipes for Paper Crafting and for Eat to Live diet...stay tuned...
