I’ve been trying this out for the past week, and I definitely plan to keep this up for the rest of my life. I already eat very healthfully, but since adding the green smoothies in for breakfast, I’ve been feeling amazing!
My skin is clearing up a lot, I feel more energetic and upbeat, and just have an overall positive vibe going on that feels a lot stronger than before I started with the green smoothies.
What I usually put in my mix: a banana or 2, some mixed berries (usually blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries)some frozen pomegranate kernels, half a cucumber, 4 leaves romaine lettuce, 10 leaves lacinto kale, about a handful of cilantro, 2 stalks celery, ground flax seed, unsweetened hemp milk, and brown rice protein powder.
I’ve also made this with just fresh berries, a banana, arugula, avocado, almond milk, and some romaine and that also tasted fantastic, and might be better for those who can’t handle something with a lot of greens.
I also use a vitamix blender, but have had great results using a regular blender at my parent’s house. If anyone is thinking about trying this, just do it, you won’t regret it.

my favorite beverage/snack. it’s part of my daily routine now to get it in. even if i don’t manage to get it in the morning, i have one when i get home in the evening.
this morning i had cucumber, a bit of celery, kale, cilantro, one-quarter of an apple, a banana, some almonds and two tablespoons of coconut oil. yum! definitely more vegetal, but i found it just sweet enough.
i’m on such a good roll with this goal, i’m calling it done.

my skin looks really great these days. clearer. noticeably fewer blackheads. it must be the green smoothies. that and all the water i’m drinking.

i love it. i know that whatever else i end up eating, i’ve managed to get some serious, natural nutrition into my system. it’s easy to do and keeping this a priority ensures that i make it to the grocery store for those fresh greens. i’ve been doing well with this.
dear universe, help me make it to the grocery store tomorrow so i don’t lose my momentum!

i went grocery shopping and i have plenty of supplies now. in fact, i just had a delicious green smoothie, but it actually could have been a lot greener. i was a little conservative because i was worried about making it too bitter. but it was actually a little sweeter than i like. i’m going to make it super green tomorrow.

I’ve been doing this straight for 2 weeks. Yay! And lately I’ve been adding kale and mangoes to them. So good.

I did it for 30 days, and I’m still doing it. That counts, right?

I started doing this on my own last week but I fell off the wagon. So I figured if I added it on 43 things, I’d have to stick with it everyday. Ok, today: baby spinach, blueberries, cantaloupe, honeydew, raspberries, flax seed.
