Monday Meanderings

Well, its Monday.  Hubby went back to work :( wah,wah...   Today, I have to catch up on the baking.  We need bread and snacks in the house.  Mike loves chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip cake, and really anything else that I throw milk chocolate chips into.  The man is a milk chocolate monster.  Mind you, he has self control, and limits his portions, but it is something he really enjoys, along with the Breyers.

My chore list today includes but is not limited to: laundry, baking, school with the kids, house straightening and the like.  It seems like the weekends are what wreck our house.  We are so busy doing this, going there, that everything in the house falls by the wayside.  Monday is recovery day.

First things first though!  The Big Organic Green Smoothie.  This starts my day, is totally CORE (weight watchers) and fills me up.  It is full of minerals, fiber, living vitamins and even some chlorophil, among other things.

The Green Smoothie

1 bunch of organic romaine lettuce, cleaned

3-4 big handfuls of organic baby spinach

about 2 cups of chunked pinapple (contains bromolain- an anti- inflamatory)

2-3 cups of organic, natural frozen wild blueberries (very high in natural anti- oxidents)

Sometimes, for a little extra sweetness, I will throw in a ripe banana

All of this in your Vita-Mix or Health Master Blender (or any blender- but you may have to do it a little at a time) with a little pure water to help it move around. 

The frozen blueberries give this a nice cold/frozen slushy kind of texture if you like that sort of thing.  Sometimes I will change up the greens- but this is my favorite combination.

This recipe make a lot of smoothie.  I drink a large glass, but it leaves a whole container full remaining, which my husband and kids drink. Sometimes, when I get the hunger pangs through out the day, I will take more.  It will keep for 36-48 hours in the fridge.

This is really good for healing or recovery from illness or any inflamatory disease.

Blessings,

Kim (the little sister)

Yum!
