Drink to your health.....

I'm sitting here drinking my Green Smoothie for breakfast. (notice the computer pix above.lol) I put lots of spinach, some kale, carrots, organic coconut, green apple, red apple, and a frozen banana, flax seed and a little stevia. I tried to be simple to not have a yucky taste like the last time when I put a whole stock of LEEKS! That was hard to drink. No fruit to balance the acid taste. This one today is not too bad. My husband likes it...he likes anything that is healthy. The boys weren't so thrilled. Hopefully I can get them used to it. I'm glad I discovered that it is legal to add fruit to the green. HA I'm getting better at it or more accustomed to the taste. The thing that excites me about it-is that it is an anti-cancer fighting machine. If your body is acidic you will become deceased. But, if it is alkaline...that is the optimum for your health. Vegetables will make your body alkaline. I have these little testing strips the doctor gave me. And so far I'm "okay" but not in the "great" zone. I'm aiming for the best! Well, as you can see I have my Ipod on and my cap so I need to head out the door for my walk. Talk to you all later.

My New Hobby~Green Smoothies.....

The last 2 months I've been working on perfecting the Green Smoothie. Everything I read says it is the healthiest thing you can do for your body. All of the great nutrients in raw foods~plus flax seed....well, my first ones were horrid. I almost gave up...but I realized it was all green veggies and it's good to add fruits to cut the acidic taste that I didn't like with the Kale, Spinach, Leeks and other veggies... I love fruit smoothies--but I'm working on getting more greens in daily. So, each one gets a little better. I'm hoping to be loving it soon. lol If anyone has any tips on making a great Green Smoothie...let me know. I've had a vita mix for years and I love it.

Water the Ultimate Cure

I read a book...(it's short)- called, Water the Ultimate Cure....trying to motivate myself to get adequate water....minus the Starbucks, Coffee's, Tea's, Soda's and other "filler" drinks that we America's love to drink. Water is soooo important and sometimes the last thing we drink...yet it's the best thing we could do for ourselves. I'm attempting to transition into a water only gal. Not doing too bad. No coffee, tea or soda for 3 weeks. I'm not saying I'll never have it. But, I want to be sure I get the water first...then once in a while have a treat drink....our bodies are made up of mostly water. We love to look at it and swim in it and do all sorts of things with water. Don't forget to drink a minimum of 8 glasses a day.
