Today's Juice:
1 HoneyCrisp Apple
1 cup organic greens
1 enormous carrot
Pronouncement: HoneyCrisp gives you waaaay more apple-y taste for less.
I ate homemade guacamole (avocado mashed with onion salt, pepper and a little regular table salt, plus garlic) and wheat thins at lunchtime for what I thought would be a snack, but I'm still full...I guess it was the fat/protein?
So I might eat my smoothie for dinner, but I came up with a really delicious-sounding (we'll see how it actually tastes) vegetarian taco variant that I wanted to try (I'm going to write down the recipe as I go) so I might just drink the smoothie on my way to choir practice and if I'm hungry later, I might have a taco.
Tomorrow I'm going to try a banana-peanut butter smoothie. It looks really simple:
2 frozen bananas, chopped
1/4 c. peanut butter
1/4 c. oats
3/4 c. milk
This makes two servings so I can freeze one for lunch on Friday.
I might add some vanilla or cocoa (or dark chocolate chips) just to make it interesting.
Sleeping better now that I've been juicing, thank goodness. And I think I can tell that I'm starting to lose weight around my middle region. FINALLY. Maybe by next Spring I will have reached my goal weight: 130-135 lbs. (According to online research, this is how much I should weigh, with my frame and height and whatnot taken into account) Then what?
...Maybe I'll finally get a tattoo. ;)
when you say you put oats in your smoothies, what kind are you putting in (instant, rolled, steel cut?) and are they cooked or raw?
ReplyDeleteGina,
ReplyDeleteI put in rolled oats (any raw type would work - the recipe I use says to put in steel cut). I just bought the cheapest kind.
You can't really taste them (unless you dump in an entire cup).
