Spinach in the blender??

I keep reading all this hype over the juice cleanses and Green Monster Smoothies for weight loss. Since I am always looking for ways to lose weight, I read up on them. I did not want to invest in a juicer so I opted for trying the Green Smoothie. The recipe I originally found called for yogurt but I try to keep my dairy down to a minimum so I left that out. Basically you just use spinach or kale and then some fruits such as apples, pineapples, and bananas. Add ice or filtered water to get the consistency right.

My first thought was that this was going to taste so nasty but I had to say I at least tried it once! I was very surprised when I actually loved the flavor! You can not tell you are drinking spinach or kale. It has a very fruity flavor from all the fruits. I have been having these for breakfast for the past few days and I am kind of loving it! The first day I was hungry shortly after but the past few days it has been pretty filling. I think my body is getting used to it. I try to eat a salad or something healthy for lunch and dinner, but some of
these diets call for you to have these as two meals. I could see doing two
meals of this but I wanted to try it with one for now to see if I even liked it!
I know it sounds gross but I like it and maybe you will too! Happy blending :)
