So breakfast today was clean out the fridge day. I was running low on smoothie ingredients, so I just used the last of several ingredients I had in my fridge. Since my smoothies follow very little rhyme or reason, I just tossed all this into my blender:

-greek yogurt

-splash of orange juice

-left over Bolthouse Green Goodness juice

-last 3 cups of spinach

-half a left over apple

-final 2-3 frozen strawberries

-frozen cherries

Despite it's yucko color, it turned out really good! It was really sweet and I couldn't even taste the 3 cups of spinach. I think I am ready to move back into kale next week. I go off and on the green smoothie bandwagon, but usually I start with a small amount of spinach, add more each smoothie, and when I can't even discern it's there anymore, it means I can move onto stronger greens like kale.

For dinner, I cooked up some organic chicken and made some awesome spicy, crunchy sweet potato bites (thanks Pinterest). But since I had skipped lunch today, I didn't even consider taking pics before I just started eating. :)

Smoothie

Since currently I am sick with a little cold, so I have been eating plenty of things on my bad list like hawaiian rolls, pre-packaged potato soup, and ginger ale.

But tonight, I made a green smoothie and it was awesome. Organic greek yogurt, spinach, banana, and frozen berries. Totally what I needed to get my immune system up and running. Yay for some good food in the midst of the plague.

A little green

So my food plans have been slightly derailed as I have been sick the last few days, but yesterday I did try a new salad idea I got from Pinterest. The idea is the keeping your greens in a mason jar helps keep them fresher for a longer period of time. So yesterday I took my mason jar of organic spinach, dried cranberries, dry roasted almonds and homemade balsamic dressing to work. The spinach was a week old and still going strong! Made for a yummy, and nutritious lunch.
