Day #5

Good morning! I wanted to let you know that this morning I drank the final 'leftover' smoothie from Friday and it tasted good as well. Warning: the greens taste stronger with each passing day so if that is something you want to avoid, I would suggest making them fresh.

I found this snippet of supportive information on MSN homepage this morning and just had to share it with you. Let us know how it's going!
In Depth: The Healthiest Foods On Earth
The only thing these diets have in common is that they're all based on whole foods with minimal processing. Nuts, berries, beans, raw milk, grass-fed meat. Whole, real, unprocessed food is almost always healthy, regardless of how many grams of carbs, protein or fat it contains.
All these healthy diets have in common the fact that they are absent foods with bar codes. They are also extremely low in sugar. In fact, the number of modern or ancient societies known for health and longevity that have consumed a diet high in sugar would be ... let's see ... zero.
Truth be told, what you eat probably matters less than how much processing it's undergone. Real food—whole food with minimal processing—contains a virtual pharmacy of nutrients, phytochemicals, enzymes, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, anti-inflammatories and healthful fats, and can easily keep you alive and thriving into your 10th decade.

  1. Sunday I substituted my smoothie meal for dinner. Juiced strawberries, apples, and pears then blended with frech vanilla yogurt,a very large handful of spinach, and a spoonful of my Just Barley.

    The Just Barley gave it that really green taste I love and with all that spinach felt like I made my body happy :)
