{30 days of pinspiration} Day 29: Gettin’ Healthy with Green Smoothies

My sweet husband got me a Nutri Bullet Hi-Speed Blender for Valentine’s Day.  Maybe it’s just me, but I think it’s so much better than chocolates or roses.  I couldn’t get it out of the box fast enough.  


I’ve been intrigued by the whole juicing phenomenon, and after watching a few interesting documentaries, I knew it was something I needed to try.  This little appliance is awesome so far.  (I sound like an infomercial, but I promise they have no idea who I am!)  We started out with pure fruit smoothies and everyday I have increased the amount of greens.  I think I’m probably up to 1/2 cup of spinach now?  The boys gobble it up.  


So far, we’ve been spontaneous in our fruit/veggie selections, but I’m also curious to see what combinations other people find delicious.  This list of recipes all come from my Pinterest boards:

• Green Monster Smoothie from Sing for Your Supper
• Glitter Guide’s Favorite Smoothies: Mango Ginger, Strawberry Date, Chocolate Peanut Butter, and a Detox Green Smoothie
• Apparently this is Jessica Simpson’s drink of choice to slim down (from Glamour). 
• The Big List of Green Smoothies from Healthy Girl’s Kitchen (TONS of ideas here!)
• This Green Smoothie from the Beauty Thesis claims the post-pregnancy pounds will just fall off.  Not sure if that’s true, but the recipe sounds delicious.
