morning 7-challenge completed!



i seriously knew i could do this challenge but i didnt think i would enjoy it-at all! i just figured i'd fight the green down every morning but be super proud of myself for the loads of health i was putting in my body. no. i totally liked these. so did my kids. so did my body.

my all time fav is the pina colada type or really anything when you add pineapple. pineapple makes all things better. trust in this.

so this morning i copied an earlier smoothie from day two but then i added blueberry for a little variety. oh yea, and those little chia seeds.

1 really large handful of spinach
1/2 cup fresh mango (frozen)
1/2 cup fresh pineapple (frozen)
1/2 cup blueberries
1/2 banana
1 tbsp. chia seeds
1 cup coconut milk
1 cup water




im looking back at the drink photos and its funny coz really-they all look the same for the most part but believe me they all tasted a tiny bit different.

morning four


today i went with a blueberry recipe. i have no clue why the recipe i took this from was a cool purple but mine is green still? i must have added more spinach. i was hoping for a purple smoothie dang it! i've been adding the chia seed coz i cant taste them and i know they are all kinds of goodness for me- i have decided to ignore the fact that they look like fleas.

but regardless i am back to green lovin'!! this was really really good.


2 handfuls of spinach
1 cup blueberries
1 banana frozen
4 yogurt sticks (the ones i made monday with whipped honey in them)
1 cup coconut milk
1/2 tbsp chia seeds
1 cup water
1/4 avocado



* i saw a recipe where they made green tea with honey and and used that in place of the water- i bet that would be good.

last night for the 3rd night in a row my kids asked me to make them a greenie. my son has now joined the group and loves them as well. lookit us!!!
