Green Smoothies Day 5!

1 banana – peeled and quartered,
1 orange – quartered and peeled,
1 apple – quartered & seeds removed,
10 cherry tomatoes,
~Dozen baby carrots,
~Dozen grapes with seeds,
1 large handful of spinach,
9 fat cubes of ice.
Makes: 2 large glasses full

Today, I made the smoothies all by myself! Mike was a little anxious. I kept having to shoo him away. 😉 All went well. This stuff filled the blender jar more, but it handled it just fine. Extra ice was added in the glasses. And, Delicious!

Green Smoothies Every Day!

Here’s what was in today’s smoothie:

1 banana
1 fuji apple, with core (no seeds – poisonous)
1/2 a valencia orange, peeled
8 fat grapes, with seeds
1 handful of spinach
8 cherry tomatoes, colorful
4 baby carrots (2″-3″ each)
9 square ice cubes
Makes: 2 large glasses full

We’ve made these every morning since my first post (4 smoothies total, so far). My stomach is a little weirded out by these very foriegn foods, but it’s getting better. Mike fed me a probiotic. We’ll see if that helps tomorrow. I’m still very happy about all of this.
