I started weight watchers about a month ago and have noticed a slight change from it. About two weeks ago I started green smoothies. Those things may be my lifesaver. I LOVE them a lot. I replace breakfast and lunch with a smoothie then have a healthy dinner.
So what do you put in a green smoothie you may ask??? Simple. I start with half a banana, half a peach, some mango, five strawberries, and some mixed berries. I fill a sandwich sized ziploc with all my stuff. I find that this size makes a pretty decent smoothie. Then I add a couple handfuls of spinach. I also add flax seed to mine and am starting to try adding whey powder to them.
Today I had a fan-freakin-tastic smoothie. While it is higher on weight watchers points than a regular smoothie, it makes a great treat. Here's what I did: two bananas, two tablespoons of chocolate peanut butter, spinach, and 8oz of milk. Delicious.
The great thing about green smoothies is that they are so easy to mix up and change around. I started pretty simple and adapted it to what my taste preferences are. And if you can't stand drinking something because of the color, throw in some blackberries and cover it all up. I'm telling you, this may be the greatest life change I have made. I feel overall healthier than when I was eating regular food. It cleanses your system and you just feel so much better. Give it a try :)
