WOW! It’s day one of my challenge and even though I only got about 5 hours of sleep, I was up and anxious to get all the ingredients into my concoction! Now the kids didn’t see me make it.  I didn’t use any measuring cups, just a banana, strawberries, 2 kiwi, bok choy, salad greens, parsley, ice and some fresh orange juice. I stuffed it all into the new blender and with a push of a button, it all mixed into a light green mixture! 

Now sure it didn’t look good to them, but only I knew what was in it! (hee hee)  This was my morning “power” drink and it was for my lunch as well.  It smelled wonderful with all the fresh ingredients.  As I poured it into small glasses for the teens, I thought how this might be a nice ritual in the morning.  Usually we are all running around getting ready to do our thing but at least today we all shared in some “green”!  I told them it turned green because of the kiwi!!  OK, I got away with it today! 

I’m already thinking of tomorrow with granny smith apples, red grapes, apple juice, romaine lettuce and whatever else I can find.  This is why it’s so much fun and easy….you just get some fruit and veggies together and instantly, it becomes a delectable drink that is nutritious, energizing, detoxifies and has your fruits and veggies all rolled into one glass!  How much more easy can it be? 

Health really doesn’t have to be that hard. Little steps is how I learned. It’s up to us to make the decisions today that effect our health tomorrow. I think these wonderful green drinks are going to be a staple at our house!  Just wonder how long I can get away without showing them all the greens! If you have a really great recipe to share, please do! Don’t have all the fun. Here’s to your health!
