Some time ago, I watched a movie called
Fat, Sick, & Nearly Dead which documented a guy's journey while juicing for 60 days. After that, I was sold! I wanted to juice! Then I heard that it is quite the task to clean a juicer. Also, much of the nutrients like the pulp & stuff get stuck inside the juicer which just doesn't seem very beneficial to me. I was told by a couple people about just using a blender instead. I looked online & stumbled upon what's called "green smoothies". These are smoothies that incorporate spinach &/or kale with fruit and other things like juices & yogurts. I made one yesterday. I liked it. Then again, I'm not picky. SO I decided to make one for Sergio. He can be quite the picky eater (most often when it comes to healthy stuff) so, therefore, I used him as my guinea pig. I put the strawberry, blackberry, & spinach smoothie in a dark cup with a lid & straw in it. He drank it all within a minute or two. Absolutely LOVED IT!!! He then opened the cup.. & yelled out, "What the?! This drink was green??? It tasted red!".
Back to the moral of this post. Since I'm trying to lose a few pounds, I think I'm going to have one as a meal replacement everyday. Even after I reach my goal weight, I plan on continuing to have one daily because it does provide so many servings of fruits & veggies in one small glass. I'm excited to find new recipes! Also, I'm excited for next month. Serg said he'll buy me a "high-powered blender" in a couple weeks because my blender just ain't cutting it (literally).
On my current wishlist...
