Dr Oz Green Shake - AKA Life in a cup!

GOOD MORNING!

Today I'm posting a "not-so-family-favorite."

Nobody in the fam will jump on board 

this refreshing shake/smoothy.

BUT

I'm guessing most of you are mommas and 

might venture on board.

You will be pleasantly surprised.

I saw this many years ago on 

The Dr. Oz Show

Lots of goodness in this drink 

but 

I will tell you how it makes me feel.

Refreshing

Energized 

Like I can check off my veggies for the day:)

Lastly, it really fills me up with hardly any calories.

Ingredients:

1/2 cucumber

 4 celery sticks

 1 green apple (any apple will work)

 1/2 inch chunk of ginger root (tip below)

1 lime

1 lemon

2 BIG handfuls of spinach

ice

Notice my son's football helmet:) I had just cleaned it in the dishwasher.

Chop up and throw in blender.

Tip: put spinach in after all the other veggies and blend well.

Put ice in last and enjoy.

If you want some EXTRA goodness and FULLNESS then 

add a scoop of chia seeds in with the veggies.

You will be full for a long time and no real extra calories!

This is my go to drink when I serious on 

losing some extra pounds.

Why? 

Because it fills me and makes me fill so alive.

Ginger root tip:

Place ginger root in baggie and throw it in the freezer.

It last forever and does not change it's integrity.

BONUS:

I usually don't have an afternoon tired slump when drinking these.

Now go drink up and feel like a grown up 

for eating all your veggies for the day:)
