GREEN SMOOTHIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 I have jumped on the green smoothie train! Thanks to the suggestion of my sis (shout out to Lindsay, hey hey) !! I have to say, I REALLY like them...and I like that I can put a whole bunch of healthy stuff in them...but it still tastes delicious!

My first step in joining the green smoothie movement was buying a blender. I found one at Target for $25 and it is mighty powerful. So much so, that I am certain my neighbors did not appreciate my new found smoothie fascination when I was blending at 5:30am the other day before work. Whoops, being healthy required sacrifices....for me it may be my neighbors giving me the stink eye.

 In this smoothie I started with a banana and apple. I covered is with some apple cider and blended. I then added 1T of flaxseed, 1 hand-full kale, and 1 hand-full spinach.

I took a taste test, and decided it need a just little something more, so I found some frozen mango chunks in my freezer and threw those in. PERFECTO!
