Diane's Vintage Zest!: smoothie

I have been on a mission to pay attention to my eating habits and continue my gym habit of six days per week, and it has been going strong one month later!

Today, I am sharing my version of a green smoothie that I first saw on Aida Mollenkamp's blog a couple of months ago and was intrigued but didn't immediately try it. However, when I saw her sipping on it in this post, I was on a mission to try it!

After a few minor tweaks, I am totally hooked on my new morning routine and my guy is actually a huge fan of the smoothies too!

So you might want to know what this tastes like. It is actually really, really delicious! Sometimes, I have a hard time finding that happy medium between a wheatgrass shot and a milkshake, but this is just right for me!

I will include a few changes that you can try to increase the greens, the sweetness, or the fullness factor, as well as a few ideas to decrease the calories, if that is what you focus on.

Ever since I started trying to eat healthy and promised to share my healthy recipes with you guys, I started making green smoothies!

*Update* Here is the link to my fave green smoothie recipe on this blog!

My sister likes juicing, but I prefer blending smoothies because they actually keep me full without a million trips to the restroom. I mean, don't even get me started on the reasons why I prefer smoothies, but there was one instance in which juicing was better. Whenever I made a smoothie with spinach, kale, or other leafy greens, I would always end chewing pieces of leaf while trying to drink my smoothie. Ew! I always assumed that because I don't have an expensive blender that I would have to avoid adding greens to my morning smoothie. Boo!

However, I stumbled upon a tip that I had to share with you about how to blend a smoothie without leafy bits!
