No More Jiggles Wednesday: Green Shakes!

Today I am going to tell you about what I'm eating different to promote less jiggles:

GREEN SHAKES!

Ewwwwww, right?!

Wrong!!!!!!!

To be 100% honest - these are actually really tasty and they're CRAZY HEALTHY too!  Win-win!

I know, how can something that reminds you of the consistency of a blended ninja turtle taste good?  Well it turns out that spinach usually tastes better when blended with yummy fruits.

Spinach is fantastic for you.  All greens are fantastic for you - the more you eat, the better your chances of less jiggles.  Also - the better your chances are of less cancer in your life.  That's a true fact.  Eat more greens, people!

The recipe (or really, my recipe):

1. A handful of spinach - no I won't measure it, it's a heaping handful.  (Don't you scrimp on your handful either!)
2. Pineapple spears/ pineapple.  Instead of buying canned pineapple, I just bought the real deal in the produce aisle and skipped out on the sugars and processed canned junk.  I put in about 3 spears.
3. Juice of 1/2 a lemon.  I squeezed the crap out of it too.  
4. 1 banana.

Take your blender and blend until smooth.  Tip: if you blend everything OTHER than the spinach and feed the handful of spinach last - slowly, your blender will be less angry.  Unless you have a nice blender - mine is whiney.

I bought a trusty cup from GNC shown above because my husband was making comments about my "green cups" that were everywhere.  (There were two...in the sink...because the dishwasher was running but now I have my handy dandy shake cup so everyone's happy!)  I'll be able to take this to work and substitute the shake for a meal.  I usually substitute this shake for dinner.  If I'm still hungry I'll have some carrot sticks and string cheese.

So there you go - I promise you guys, I doesn't taste like spinach - it tastes good!  If the color didn't give it away, you wouldn't be able to tell it was even in there!

And what's awesome about this shake - is that you can throw any fruit you love in there.  Apples, oranges - berries of your choice!  (Stay away from the frozen fruit brands, because they're usually loaded with a lot of sugar and will defeat the purpose of your healthy shake.)  I've even heard of people adding greek yogurt or plain yogurt to make the consistency more creamy.  I tried greek yogurt once, but I did not care for the aftertaste.  I think it was the greek yogurt and lemon mixture that didn't go well together.

Tasty and fantastic for you!  You can't lose.

Also if you look above to the pages - you'll see I added a NO MORE JIGGLES page where I will link to all NO MORE JIGGLES posts and tips.  I'm not messing around guys - this will happen!
