How is your green smoothie-ing going? Yesterday was a good day, but I was busy and not as hungry. I finished off my green smoothies made the day before, and had little munchies throughout the day (a cucumber, a bagel sandwich with a ton of veggies, and herbal teas).
Today, before making my smoothies, I got inspired by Facebook readers–you all rocked it. Jessica H. shared her green smoothie recipe, which inspired me to make something different than I originally planned–it turned out SOOOO good! I even tried taking a picture of it, but Sprout wanted the smoothie, so her little hand got in the way. (What can you do with a green loving kid like that? :)). The picture is not the best–taken with my phone, but the taste is out of this world!
