Green In Green Out

Hello again! Today is my Friday and I'm looking forward to a day off tomorrow. Also I looking looking forward to tomorrow for another reason, I CAN EAT SOLID FOOD. Today is the last day of smoothies for breakfast and dinner. My stomach sure is ready for solid foods. For the remainder of the month I will slowly add in dairy, processed foods, added sugar, gluten, and caffeine.

Today started out with a pretty good smoothie. I didn't know what I was going to make till this morning. I knew I had a few different fruits but just didn't know what I wanted. I decided to risk it and throw a few things together. 


I pealed an orange, threw in a frozen banana, added some almond milk, and a splash of vanilla. It ended up being more like a fruit juice with pulp. I love pulp! This was the perfect combination for me. I did add a few ice cubes towards the end to make it a little more smoothie-like.


Today was another busy day at work so I only had time for a quick snack. I grabbed some roasted almonds and walnuts to tide me over until lunch.


Lunch was at noon and consisted of leftovers. I used to be really bad about not eating leftovers but I'm trying really hard to not waste any food.

I had leftover cold Quinoa salad with a drizzle of lime with a mixed salad. It did a pretty good job of holding me over the rest of the afternoon until.....

I got hungry on the way home. Traffic was pretty bad and took me 40min to get home when it usually takes my about 15min. I grabbed an apple to tide me over. 

After work I headed to a dinner date with two lovely girls. We decided to go to tropical smoothie since two of us are on this 4 day detox.

I had the green tea citrus smoothie. It was pretty satisfying. I"m full right now but I'm looking forward to tomorrow morning when I can actually chew by breakfast.

Day 1–Have a Headache Already

Happy New Year to everyone! Day 1 of the detox started today. It’s been pretty tough,I’m not gonna lie. I went to Whole Foods and Walmart yesterday to get all the fruits and vegetables I needed for the week. I’ve had a headache all day due to the lack of caffeine. I really don’t drink but maybe a cup and a half of coffee and a glass of tea a day. But I sure did miss it today. This morning I got up to help in the nursery at church. I made the Antioxidant smoothie. You can find the recipe here . It was really good, a little tart but not bad. When I got to the church I got a cup of unsweetened green tea (no caffeine) so I could convince myself it was a cup of coffee. The tea and smoothie held me over till about 11:30. I made a nice little salad for lunch with water with of couple apples thrown in. My salad had spinach, avocado, cucumbers, carrots, cherry tomatoes, and pumpkin seeds dressed with balsamic vinaigrette I did get pretty hungry this afternoon so I made the roasted chi...

I love Almond Butter

Hello again! It’s been a busy day for me today but it’s been a good food day. ;) The blender worked out a little better for me this morning. I guess it just needed a little using before I got used to it. I started today with an Energy Smoothie. It was really good. It was my first time trying the spice Cardamom. Energy Smoothie ½ C Almond Butter 1 Teaspoon Ground Cardamom 1 ½ C water 1 C Frozen Peaches 1 to 2 Teaspoons of Agave ½ C Ice I cut this recipe in half. The Cardamom was pretty noticeable. It’s hard to describe but it was a little like cinnamon. I loved the Almond butter. I tried a new brand this time. It was very creaming right out of the refrigerator. I drank most of the smoothie on my way to work. I was pretty hungry when I woke up this morning.  Lacey enjoyed the Mango Smoothe today. Isn't she cute! I had a cup of hot green tea about 8:30. It hit the spot! The smoothie held me over till about 11. When lunch time came around I was hungry. I had to take a quick lunch...

Growing Alfalfa Sprouts

Well, I gave in. I had a ½ of a warm glazed donut from Shipley’s. J It was soo good! I made a smoothie to keep me full and from eating more donuts. I call it peaches ‘n cream oatmeal smoothie! Peaches ‘n cream oatmeal smoothie 1 cup of peaches ½ cup of raw oats 1 cup of almond milk 1 tablespoon peanut butter Splash of vanilla I liked it, though I thought it was a little thick. I think I will cut back on the oats next time. Lunch was made by Kyle today! He made grilled turkey and swiss on ciabatta bread sandwiches. They were very good! Can you see the Alfalfa sprouts on my sandwich? I grew them this week! It was so easy and I thought I would share with you how you can grow them in your own kitchen as well. I had a friend of mine give me some sprouts last weekend and told me that I should try it out. She had lots of luck in growing hers, so I thought I would try as well. You need: Alfalfa Seeds (You can get them at whole foods in the bulk section) Mason jar and top Some sort of m...
