Day 6: Smoothie Time

Day 6 has started. With my first week of vegetarianism almost over I gotta say im feeling pretty good. Im down to 233.3 today. I know being vegetarian really wont effect weight loss drastically, it just makes me think more about the things I am putting into my body.

Today for breakfast I built me a smoothie:

Step One: Blueberries

Step Two: Celery

Step Three: Banana

Step Four: Carrot

Step Five: Spinach

Step Six: Grape juice

Step Seven: Blend

Enjoy!

More info I found on green smoothies:

Green Smoothies: the most nutritious, healthy, whole food meal you can eat.

Green Smoothies are smoothies blended with fresh leafy greens - simple as that. Quite often the greens are blended with fruits giving you a delicious meal bursting with nutrition! Kids and adults of all ages love green smoothies.

We've all heard "Eat Your Greens" and "Greens are Good for You", but do you really know how true it is? If you did then you would be drinking a green smoothie right now.


The health benefits of green smoothies are unmatched by any other single meal.

What are Green Smoothies?

An introduction

Greens are loaded with antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, live enzymes, phytonutrients, and amino acids (protein).

As fantastic as greens are, we would have to chew them a long long time to get them to the creamy consistency necessary to take full advantage of all the nutrition they hold. The nutrition lies within the plant's cell walls which are one of the strongest things found in nature. That's where the smoothie part comes in...

Blending your greens in a high speed blender, like aVitamix 5200 or a Blendtec Home Blender, breaks through the cell walls, releasing more flavor and making the bounty of nutrients more readily available for your body.

Green smoothies really do taste great when made well! As you become accustomed to drinking green smoothies, you will crave them and you will crave having more greens in them. Over time as your body becomes accustomed to such incredible nutrition you will want to eat more living foods.

An amazing transformation can happen when you do nothing but add daily green smoothies to your life. Try it for 30 days and discover the new you.
