Kale

Yesterday I was at my favorite hangout spot on the web, http://blendedrecipes.com, and I decided to give Kale a try in my smoothies.

I tried Spinach a couple weeks ago and discovered that you can't taste it at all!
My favorite spinach smoothie is with bananas and peanut butter. 

Anyway, I tried their Recycled Air Remedy Smoothie. Turned out really good! I didn't even notice the Kale in it. I think what stood out to me the most was the pineapple.

I gathered all my smoothie ingredients last night. I chopped them all up and separated them into 1 cup increments (I have 10 cups of Kale!). Then I started putting together my smoothie mixed in plastic freezable Tupperware. I put little labels on the outside telling me what liquids to add, (ex: add 1 cup of water). 

This morning I got up grabbed 1 container, dropped it in the blender, added my water and voila! Super quick and easy breakfast in a cup and on the go.

Try pre-making your smoothies and freezing them.
Try Kale!
Let me know your thoughts.

I am now so much more knowledgeable about calories and fats and sweets. I have been really good at controlling what I put in my body. So now eating healthy is my new "norm" - yay! unfortunately that's not dropping the pounds any more. So what do I do? I already am only eating 1200 calories a day so I obviously don't want to go below that. Exercise is great. It really is . I love it! I just don't have time for it. I have tons of work-out plans, seriously I have a binder full of exercises  BUT I DON'T HAVE TIME . I have 3 kids to take care of ...
