Free Martian Smoothie Recipe



Today I dubbed this a martian smoothie.
Raw and fresh are my new nutritional goal.

Martian Smoothie

1/4 C apple/grape juice
3 ice cubes
1 medium banana
1 generous handful of spinach
1/3 of a fresh apple
Opt. handful of raisins

Blend until you like the texture.
Yes, it is lumpy. That is the fibery goodness.

And it is sweet and delicious even if it takes some time to get used to the color. I promise.

Day 2

Today was Day 2 of my 'change your eating' project inspired by Montel Williams.
Today's smoothie was 1/2 cup of fruit juice, 1 banana, 1 apple, and a handful of spinach. The color is disturbing, and I still have to eat regular food with it. It takes 21 days to form a new habit, so hopefully it will grow on me. My bf took one drink and said it was too 'chewy' for him. But that is rather the point...unlike a juicer that removes fiber, the blender method leaves in all the fiber, and we all need more fiber. And yes, it is very filling. The look of it is disturbing, so I need to put it in an opaque class with a lid.
