Beet That!

No post yesterday SUPER BUSY! I am a stay at home mom, yesterday I was at home for a total of 1 hr and 15 min!  During my away time, I made it to the gym!! AND I made it to the gym this morning as well! 3 times this week! Is it crazy that I already feel like I see results?

Smoothies today: Breakfast, basic strawberry orange with yogurt and grains

Lunch: Beet That!

1/2 banana

1.5 stalks celery

3 large broccoli florets

2 large chunks of fresh beet

1 cup strawberries

1 basil ice cube**

1 scoop protein powder

1 C water

This ended up making 4 cups, but after my workout I was hungry and drank it all. According to the food journal I use, it still only added up to 309 Calories. Plus it says I worked off 328 calories. Of course, all of this is just estimates, but it give an idea of what I did! Invigorating feeling!

** Note: Basil ice cubes- blend fresh basil leaves with a bit of water, pour the "slop" into ice cube trays and freeze. Pop out of ice cube trays and store in a Zipper Bag in the freezer to use when needed. I made a bunch this summer from my own basil. I use it in soups a lot.
