All the natural goodness of food!

Healthy Green Smoothie
(tastes like Jamba Juice!)

 

Although this smoothie doesn't look all that good, It is full of delicious and healthy ingredients. I really love these smoothies and I drink them pretty much every morning. Its the perfect way to loose weight too! :)

All you need:
2 handfuls of spinach
1 cup of orange juice
1/2 cup of milk (use soy or almond milk if your on a diet)
2 cups frozen peaches, berries or any other fruit you like
1 banana (or half if your banana is really ripe) 

~This will make about 2 servings~

Put your spinach, juice and milk in the blender. Blend till the spinach is smooth. Now add your frozen fruit and banana. Blend till its think and smooth!!
You can change this up however you like it. I like to add a bit more spinach to mine because I really like spinach :) Feel free to add fresh fruit! You can always add more juice if it is too think for your liking. 





Hummus & Greek Pita Bread


When I feel like I need a mid-day snack, Hummus is always my first choice! Not only is it good for you but it is so yummy :)
You can make it homemade or buy it at pretty much any grocery store and usually they offer a bunch of different flavors. If your trying it for your first time I highly recommend just buying Original. You can also find pita bread pretty much everywhere too.


My favorite flavor is the Roasted Red Pepper!


I put my bread on a paper towel and pop it in the microwave for about 30 seconds just so its warm and then I simply rip bit size pieces off and dip it into my hummus! Yummy :)
