GREEN MONSTER, GREEN MACHINE, GREEN GOODNESS, GREEN SMOOTHIE, OR JUST GREEN DRINK.
in our home it is the green drink! i make green drinks every day thanks to the good example and recipes from Elisa and my Parents!!
THANKS GUYS.
The benefits of these drinks are awesome. i get almost all my servings of fruits and vegetables in right away in the morning. people add all sorts of different things into their green drinks to make them unique to their own tastes!! this is one of the smartest health tips i have incorporated into my daily routine in a long time. they feel me up, and i feel so good about my self and energized after i drink it. my green drink and some cashews through out mid morning are really all i eat now before dinner. i just don't feel hungry after i drink my green drink! my health goals for this year were not to lose weight but to just get plain healthy. i even told pete exactly how much i weigh, i mean really weigh and it felt good. i don't "need" to lose weight but i do need to get in shape. i also told him i want to run six miles, in a row, in one day, without stopping, by my birthday so in about a month. he just laughed!! one of the other things we did to get healthier this year is we bought a 1/4 of a cow! not only do we know exactly where it came from(Idaho,thank you crandalls!!) it is really amazing quality beef! we try and mainly eat organic and bake from scratch. simple things that we have incorporated over the last couple of years that i think have made a big difference. anyways you should try a green drink if you haven't all ready. even hannah will drink it. I think they are delicious!!

in my green drink i start with:1 organic apple chopped up
1c. water and blend in blender
then i add 2 large hand fulls of organic spinach and blend
then i add one frozen banana
(other wise mine don't turn out very smoothy like because i don't use frozen berries which most people do)
and then add 1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder
*some variations include adding frozen berries, flax seeds, almond milk and so on.........
so get blending!

I don't know if I could do the green drink. LOL! Ryan made me one, once with RAW veggies...brocoli, Carrots, etc... It was ... uh... GAG!!!
However, THAT BEEF, ahhhh...SO YUMMY!!! LOVE IT!
Looks goo, definitely going to try it.
I meant to say good, kinda funny since it is green:)
Nice Rach! I love green smoothies! And commenting on Deanna's comment: green smoothies are typically supposed to be made with fruits and leafy greens...so broccoli and carrots you wouldn't normally do...though I know sometimes people use carrots. Anyway, good job Rach, and I'm glad they make you feel so good!
Rachel, you have totally inspired me!After reading your blog I want to eat healthier! I am going shopping today to buy everything I need for my green drink!
