Have you noticed that I am falling in love with green smoothies? This last week all of my posts have been about GREENS and I am loving it. Yesterday, I challenged YOU to drink a green smoothie everyday for at least 3 days. It sounds easy, and it really is, but sometimes a few tips can help. I gathered up all of my experiences this past week with the 7 day challenge to help you be successful, also.

1. Start the day off with a green smoothie. This is the best step to a good day.
2. Peel and freeze ripe banana bits when you cannot consume them before they go bad. Super easy and convenient.
3. Clean your blender with hot water right after making the smoothie. Without a clean blender, it is hard to stay on track with a smoothie a day! (This is a hard one for me, since I don’t have a dishwasher. I think one of the biggest excuses I have for not making a smoothie in the morning is that the blender is dirty.)
4. Always, always, always have fresh greens in the fridge. If this is too hard, get a green powder product like Greens+ and use it as a “Plan B” when there aren’t fresh greens.
5. Variety! I used to have two recipes that I would alternate, and then I got bored and stopped making green smoothies all together! Now I have so many recipes from the challenge I don’t know what to do with!
6. Make a little extra. My husband never requests a green smoothie, but when I make one he always wants a bit. This is great motivation, because you are not only nourishing yourself, but your loved ones as well.

I wish you success in the challenge and feel free to contact me if you have any questions! Just post your comment below and I will get back to you
