I have come to the conclusion that green smoothies magically generate compliments. I had a wonderful green fruity smoothie this morning on my way to work, and within 1hr of arriving two different people complimented my appearance.

“How do I know it’s the green smoothie?”, you ask. Well, I haven’t made any particular changes in my hair, makeup, or clothes lately. I thought about what have I been doing differently, and realized I have been drinking green smoothies the past 2 days before work. So, though a process of complete illogical logic (;-p), I have concluded the green smoothies generate compliments.

CR Magic Complement Green Smoothie (serves 1)

1 very small banana (~80g), frozen
50g cranberries
1/2 small apple (~60g)
25g Cherries, frozen
40-50g Spinach or Kale
14g Whey Protein
1t Flax Oil
1t stevia
1 -1.5C Water (cold)

First, prepare cranberries by microwaving until they burst, then place in freezer. If using kale, you may want to lightly steam it in the microwave and cool before using. Place water and oil in blender, add apple, cherries, cranberries, greens and blend. Add protein power and stevia, blend. Add banana last. Drink.

I found a nice week view summary of all my nutrition, so I am just going to put that chart on my blog every few days. If you want to look at my daily food list, just go my My Spark Page
