I haven't got sick of them yet. It's an excellent way to get a TON of veggies in me. Salads take forever to chew, but I can blend a smoothie and get a whole head of lettuce in me in very little time.
Today's smoothie has a whole banana, a whole apple with skins, 3 oranges, 2 cups of spinach, 2 cups kale, a whole head of green lettuce (not iceberg, the good green kind), about 4 small dates, a teaspoon of manna, almond milk, chia seed, 2 sticks of celery, and 2 carrots. (this makes enough for breakfast AND lunch)
Just a little tiny spoonful of manna gives your smoothie a tropical taste. Manna is pure coconut. Nothing added. It's good.
I just ordered some Maca root powder, Goji berries, and cacao to start experimenting with different flavors.
I have noticed that my cravings for anything junky are rapidly disappearing. If I am hungry, I really WANT to eat vegetables. That is so weird. Somebody brought donuts to work.... I was not even tempted. I usually get the munchies about 2pm and now I have raw broc and cauliflower with some ranch dressing and maybe a handful of nuts.
I've lost 5 pounds so far.
So, so far, so good.
