Your Basic Startin' Out Green Smoothie!
16-34 ounces good water (more water = thinner smoothie. I like mine thinner!)
2 small or 1 large banana for sweetness. (Or 1 apple or 1 pear!)
1/2 cup PACKED spinach leaves. (FRESH! Do not use the pre-frozen stuuf. Although you can buy your bags of spinach and then freeze them, that's okay!)
1 tblsp. Flax meal (or flax seed if you have a high speed blender)
Blend it up and drink! Put a couple of ice cubes in there to get it nice and cold and remember...adjust the ingredience to suit your taste and where you are on your green intake. When you are new, use more sweet fruits or less greens then gradually add more greens. Spinach and Romaine are the most beneign in taste, but you can use any green really!
Starting off with this hydrating body fuel, you are guaranteed energy! After you have your smoothie, if you get hungry later on, then have your cereal or toast. But before long, you'll feel how your old breakfast makes you feel and you'll stay away from it! My suggestion? Drink your smoothie. And then if you get hungry before lunchtime, eat some fruit. Any kind! If you are really craving eggs and bacon then eat and avocado. The whole thing if you want. The good fats from the avocado will satiate the protein cravings (also satisfies sugar and other fatty cravings) and yet it will digest and eliminate quickly leaving you feeling satisfied, light and energetic! more energy for other things!
