My Fighting Green Drink

Yes, I too am loving my daily Green Drink/ Green Smoothie. Have I noticed a weight loss yet?? no. Have I noticed better health?? not really. I guess I've got some other things to work on. Have I noticed it's addictive quality, curve of appetite and added energy! YES!

Unfortunately , I don't own a BlendTec or VitaMix so I have to be careful what i put in.. like key limes leave too much rind and cashews are a no- go either..

Here are some favorites (and other ideas) I add to my green drink fresh or frozen (not everything at the same time.. but you can if you want too!) Make your breakfast a Mean Green Super Strong Fighting Machine!!
