Green Breakfast Smoothie

I went to bed last night at 3am 

(i get lost in this raw food research)

:o)

opened my eyes at 9am.

Got out of bed

went to the kitchen

where Jamie had just made 
fresh coffee,

and started pulling fruits & veggies together for our breakfast smoothie experiment.

The pitcher that came with our Vita-mix is a 64oz.

Filled it 3/4 full with fresh spinach 

added some fresh orange juice

(roughly 1/2 a cup)

two 1/2 moon slices of pineapple

1/3 cucumber w/skin

1 long celery stalk

1 carrot

1 large banana

3 tbs ground flaxseed

drizzled in a little honey

&

just enough ice to make it cold

once blended.

~ I must tell you ~

it's been years

(approx 7+)

since i've got out of bed ready to start my day

~ feeling happy ~ 
~ less stiff ~

 ~ AWAKE ~

&

just an over-all 

feeling of wellness.

The last 2 days

i wake-up feeling pretty darn good!

We totally stopped eating out at the

restaurants like  
TGIF's

over the summer.

ick

ick

ick

 

Found 2 
that we're on the 
"healthier"

side.

Now we are down to 
one

which we go to on Saturday nights.

They buy everything from local farmers.

(one being his uncles farm).

The owner/chef

is always there.

They're the best place
*to date* 
we've

found to eat out.

The last year has been a big struggle 

for both of us, as far as 
cooking & eating

was concerned.

It got pretty bad.

We hated the thought of going to the grocery store.

We ate "healthy"

only at these 2 restaurants.

but, that was getting expensive.

~ Then ~

we came across this guy in Costco

doing the Vita-mix demo.

It was a god-send

or 

what i like to think of as a 

mom-send

:)

i'm sure she is looking down on us

with a huge smile.

 

Anyway...

Jamie loved this 
'green'smoothie...

YIPPI!

as well as 

ME.

Organic is the way 

we will continue to eat.

I love how everything we purchased

the 2nd half of last week

is STILL 

as fresh as when we bought it.

I'd like to thank Dan

(liferegenerator)

from youtube

for sharing his info

that is helping so many others.

He's the first person i found when 

starting my research.

& 

a special thank you to
