My sister and I are exactly the same but totally different
and we have a little something competitive going on from time to time (ok all the time)
she eats higher carb lower fat
but we believe in eating from a wide selection of fresh "whole" foods and consider refined carbs to be crap for your body
we actually believe it or not, compete in how healthy we can be when we are together! it is very funny as we have glass of wine get totally buzzed and then get creative and competitive over making a salad or curry or whatever! who can put the most healthy things in!
We do cave and have some crap sometimes, but it is rare!
Our morning tradtion is to see how hard core we can go with our traditional "green" breakfast smoothie
the only rule we have is no meat, fish or seafood in the blender
want to join my pre visit smoothie smack down as I prepare my body and mind for this sister to sister comp?
actually I just wanted to start a thread and see if anyone else was or wanted to be a green smoothie freak and had some new ideas for me? and if you are not already maybe something new and fun for you to try? nothing actually has to be green!
it can be induction friendly or fit almost any plan
(except the all meat diet unless you are that hard core you would make a meat and water smoothie, then good for you and I dare you to post pics of you drinking it!)
there is no way this is hard unless you do not have a blender. You can pour this in a cup and run out the door so no excuse for not eating!
and I do not care how bad you think a vegetable in the blender can taste it is no where close to the horrific flavor of an Atkins shake, way cheaper, so much better for you and does not take but a min to make!
Please share your low carb smoothies, egg cream, anything wonderful and healthy in the blender? fancy made up names would be great too!!
