1 handful spinach leaves
Tablespoon or two of ricotta (or silken tofu or greek yogurt)
1 C frozen mixed berries
1 T cocoa powder
1 C unsweetened almond milk (add more or add water if needed for blending)
Splenda to taste (unless I have frozen banana on hand, then no sweetner is necessary)

I binged on sorbet and a molten chocolate lava cake last night. It's funny, before, a binge on those things for me would have been 2 or 3 of the cakes. i had one last night with a few scoops of the sorbet, but i just felt crappy afterwards and i still do this morning. maybe it's time for a little phase 1.

Lots and lots of water and one hour of kickboxing--wow, she worked our abs! Very curious about these smoothie recipes--can you taste the spinach? A friend told me she used frozen broccoli but I haven't tried to make one yet. I need to up my veggie count and a smoothie might be the answer.

Back from interviews and vegas! Wheee! I ate and drank a lot. The alcoholic slushes in Vegas are deadly! :devil:

Looking forward to getting bat at 'er tomorrow. See you then!
