Today I brought my first shake to my school day. I had coffee for breakfast at 8 am, and between 9:30am and 10:30 I drank the shake I made last night. I was kept full until 4:30pm! I didn't eat anything! Which is great for school days because I don't have time to eat, so a lot of time I am dying of hunger (and collapsing because I am hypoglycemic) or I am stuffing my face of some quick food that really isn't filling just to keep my blood sugar up (Odwalla bars are a favorite..so good, but not filling!)
Tomorrow is just a work day, where I do get the chance to eat regularly, so we will see how it goes.
I am also inc operating fresh, raw greens every night for dinner. I had steamed broccoli tonight (along with fried eggplant, still a vegetable right? lol)
I am going to try really hard to have raw greens during lunch as well but until I can get to a farmer's market and get quality vegetables for a reasonable price.
Tomorrows (3/25) shake:
4 cups of spring mix dark greens
2 cups of mixed frozen fruit (peaches, pineapple, mango, strawberries)
1/2 of a banana
1 cup of light cranberry juice
2 tablespoons of flax seed
1 scoop of whey protein
I wanted a vegetable packed smoothie, so I added twice as much greens. To contrast the greens, I used a lighter mix than just one type of dark green. Then I added really sweet fruit, which is bought in a mix already. 1/2 of a banana for thickness, since my last shake was too thick.
The color is a weird one..not quite green, but a green-grey. But it tastes amazing! So sweet! Yesterday's shake tasted like banana, but this one you can really taste the sweet fruit.
