This week in Green Smoothies

Hey everyone,

I’m still going strong on my green smoothie challenge. So far I’m really loving it, it keeps me full until 10:30 (which is snack time) and I am seeing the health benefits! I feel a little lighter.  I don’t ever weigh myself because I don’t believe in judging myself on a number. Also, the skin on my face feels smoother.

Another great thing about the green smoothie challenge is watching other people do it and absorbing their creative food energy.  A bit like a weird creative sponge.  I’ve been posting my daily photos on instagram – which you should totes follow me on…..please? I really love the instagram community, if you find people with the same interests it’s a great motivator. One of my favourite instagrammers is healthy_motivation follow her for motivational quotes and yummy pictures of super healthy food! On that note here’s my photos of this week’s smoothies!

This was actually taken outside, one of the best things about living in a older style home is all the cool textures and light fittings!

Green Smoothie, pink lips!
