Good Morning! So, I thought I would share with you something that helps me get started in the mornings. Getting back in shape is more than just working out. It's eating healthy too! Make the little (or big) changes in your diet and you can see awesome results. Everyone has been talking about the green smoothie lately. And I feel like everyone has their own recipe for it. So....here's yet another to add to your repertoire.  

Stephanie's Green Smoothie (2 Servings)

2 Cups Spinach Leaves (14 calories)
1 Apple cut into small pieces (95 Calories)
1 Pear cut into small pieces (96 Calories)
1 Banana (100 Calories)
1/2 cup blueberries (41 Calories)
Strawberries! (I sometimes throw in a few if I have them)
1 cup cold water

(Total Calories: 341)

Blend until smooth and walla! A green smoothie! 

This smoothie has about 170 calories per serving. And it is loaded with fiber and good sugar and protein. It keeps me full for the entire morning.
It took me a few tries to find the right combination of fruits to add to the smoothie. And this by far is my favorite. Up until now, I've been drinking this 2-3 times a week for breakfast. But now its time to try harder and my goal is to drink this 6 times a week. Honestly, I don't think it will be too hard. The smoothie is actually pretty good. I was just stubborn and didn't want to give up my sugary cereals in the morning and that's why I am giving myself a cheat day once a week. :)

Let me know what you like to add to your smoothies. Do any of you have any tips?
