Green Smoothies Fo' Life, Yo!

Earlier this year, I began a lifestyle change to eat healthier, inspired in part by a Green Smoothie challenge on Facebook.

I saw the Green Smoothie challenge too late on Facebook to join, but I decided to do my thing, anyway. I got out my Ninja  -- an infomercial product that was gathering dust in my kitchen cabinet --  bought some spinach and frozen fruit, and began blending away using this smoothie recipe.

Eating Healthy in 2013

So in an effort to eat healthier in 2013, I decided to incorporate more smoothies into my diet.

I've started -- and stopped -- the smoothie kick before. Usually because my smoothies would come out nasty as hell. I bought a Ninja over the summer and didn't touch the thing for at least 3 months. When I did use it to make a smoothie, it came out in chunks -- NOT the business.

I saw the Green Smoothie challenge on Facebook one day an became intrigued: The smoothies at Simple Green Smoothies looked delish. What the hell was I doing wrong? I tried her recipe and let me tell you -- I am in love.
