Blackberry Citrus

I haven't updated on my workout / weight loss/ 2 smoothie progress. Yeah. Not really. My excuses are as follows...1) a series of illnesses for children and mommy have made working out unappealing 2) I think I am hungry, therefore I eat 3) I found I didn't like 2 smoothies every day.

Hopefully, now that illnesses have past, I can hit the gym consistently. I did do some Wii fit on some of those days when I didn't work out at the gym. Better than nothing. I also need to think of other lunches for myself. Healthy, low calorie and filling.

Today's smoothie is:

Blackberry Citrus

1/2 banana

juice of a grapefruit

juice of a temple orange

1/2 c frozen blackberries

1 T goji berries

1 T ground flax

1 T wheat germ

2 T hemp seed

1 T Honey

Blackberry Pomegranate

Hubs didn't want a smoothie today, so today's recipe is for a 2 cup serving.

 

Blackberry Pomegranate smoothie

1 banana

1/3 c Greek yogurt

1 cup blackberry pomegranate juice

1/2 c frozen blackberries

1/2 T bee pollen

1 T ground flax

1.5 T oatmeal

2 T hemp seed

1/2 T wheat germ

Blend and enjoy. Might add 1 T honey to this.

Also, yesterday I made my first savory smoothie.  It was okay, I will have to get use to this idea of drinking my lunch. Some of my savory smoothies may get turned into soup! I will have to explore the ideas and possibilities of savory smoothies. 

1 cup diced tomatoes (skin off, from my garden, frozen and thawed)

1 raw carrot (cut into chunks)

1 ginger ice cube

handful of raw spinach

water to make 2 cups blended

dashes of salt, cumin, corriander, pepper to taste
