One of my favorite breakfasts ever!

jen's green smoothie:
1/2 cup of OJ
2 Cups raw baby spinach
1 cup mango (frozen chunks)
1 cup flavored seltzer (you can use the artificially sweetened stuff or the unsweetened. They both work).
1 tsp psyllium husk
= 174 calories.

whats seltzer, sparkling water?

any other mango ideas? i have one sat in my fruit bowl... lonely and ripe!

your smoothie sounds odd but nice...!

Yeah, it's not the typical smoothie. Nelie has another great green smoothie recipe. she uses carrots, too I think.

seltzer= sparking water.

I loooooove mango, naked as is. You're making my mouth water! I would be cutting that baby up right about now.

Afternoon ladies...so yesterday I stayed on point all day, and then overindulged on gingerbread cookies. Boo. That's ok, today's a new day and it's started off pretty well, aiming to grocery shop as our fridge is pretty bare now.

B- 1 c. optimum slim cereal w/ light soymilk, coffee w/ h & h, 23 oz. water
S- ezekial toast w/ sliced tomato and 1 slice cheddar melted on top
L- scrabled egg whites and greek yogurt cup
S- 1 oz. almonds
D- Pork chop w/ green peas and 2 cuties

Unsure of the total calories as I haven't tallied them up yet but I'll get around to it sometime today. Will aim to workout at least 20 min. on my lunch break this evening. Have a great day ladies.
