Halfway Through: It's Day 4!

Hi, everyone! We're 1/2 way through the 7-Day Green Smoothie Challenge now!!! This week is whizzing past - wow!

I wanted to share this link with you - Green Thickies. This girl is amazing and the story of how God healed her from several devastating health issues through green smoothies is simply amazing. She sent me her link and I wanted to share it with you. :) Check it out, if you're interested!

I made this for dessert last night. It was a mimic of yesterday's peach protein smoothie. I gave my dad a taste and he was a good sport. It's interesting how I think some things are SO sweet and yet when I give someone else a taste - well . . . :P I'll just be honest - some love it and some don't! I think it's partially psychological? The green color really seems to be something to get over, but it's possible!  

The thing to remember when you're starting a new healthy habit is start small. Not interested in drinking a whole green smoothie? Try making one at a family meal and giving out small servings. You can drink 1 or 2 ounces, right? Of course you can! It's the little things that make up the big differences. You might just discover that this is an easy, tasty way to incorporate more servings of greens into your diet. 

Here are a few 7-Day Green Smoothie Challenger recipe links below - they look so delicious! Thanks for sharing guys!

And, Liz from iHeartVeggies.com does a fantastic job eating healthy on a budget. Click here for her suggestions to cut costs! I really like the frozen spinach idea.

I had plenty of kale on hand this morning so I used that in my green smoothie. :)

I didn't follow a recipe - just a bit of this and that :) But here's what into the blender: 8oz water, kale, strawberries, 1 Tbsp chia seeds (soaked), scoop of vegan chocolate protein powder, ice. Delish!

I'm lovin' these last days of summer. The weather has been spectacular the last few days and the evenings are really nice.

Tomatoes sandwiches on high fiber bread are a favorite around here! A perfect lunch while the weather's still warm. :)

I had an inspiring piano lesson this afternoon. So thankful for my teacher! It's a gorgeous afternoon so I'm headed outside to spend some time soakin' up the sun. Need to stock up on some vitamin D for the winter months :P
