5 Day Smoothie Fast

I am starting a 5 day smoothie fast on Monday, November 4, 2013. I am doing this just to pretty much detox and cleanse my body to prepare myself for my journey to becoming a Pescetarian (A person who doesn't eat any meat except fish) and then a vegetarian. Even though I haven't eaten beef or pork for over 15 years, I loved me some chicken, any way you prepare it I'll eat it (Except fried).. Lol... So this is going to be a challenge for me. But green smoothie here I come... This is one of my favorite green smoothie protein shakes.



Green Smoothie Recipe

 
A simple smoothie recipe with tropical fruit and kale.

Ingredients:

  • 1 scoop plain or vanilla protein powder
  • 1 large kale leaf (over 1 cup chopped)
  • 2 cups low fat milk or almond milk ( I use Almond Milk )
  • 3/4 cup frozen pineapple chunks
  • 3/4 cup frozen mango chunks
  • 1 frozen banana

Directions:

  1. Prepare ahead: Cut all fruit into 1 inch chunks and place in separate freezer bags. Freeze. (You can find these items precut and frozen in most grocery stores.)
  2. To make: Place all ingredients in a heavy-duty blender and puree until smooth.
  3. Makes one enormous servings,  2 large servings, or 3 small servings.

Day 1 - 7 day detox back to fitness and weight loss journey

Today, I started Day 1 of my 7 day detox to cleanse my body and to give myself a jumpstart back on my fitness and weight loss journey. Well, how did it go? I flopped!!! My motivation was there but I was starving by the time I made it home form work... I drunk my ACV and Green smoothie for breakfast, My cabbage soup for lunch and had plenty of water, but I have to get my body back to this lifestyle. I have taken a long break because it has been so much going on within this past year from March 2016 I broke my toe and a lot in my personal life has been going on. So stress eating began and even though the foods I was eating were healthy choices, too much healthy foods can pack on pounds as well especially when majority of them are high carbs and you're not working out. My goal is to lose 60 pounds by my birthday which is on September 9th with a well balanced meal plan (meal prepping) and exercise 4-5 days a week. So please continue to follow my journey with me for great tips on how ...

Running Season Has Began!!!!

I was so excited to run my second 5K of the year with my sister and my girls this past Saturday.. The Blacklight Run was like a 5K party in the dark, with glow powder flying everywhere and over 20,000 people out, enjoying the nice weather and each other.. We met some great people and it was just exciting to see my sister and her friend complete their very first 5K with many more to follow... Very proud of you Ladies!!!! I'm looking for our next 5K or maybe 10K? Lol... Smooches!!!

The benefits of drinking water

Are you drinking half your body weight in ounces of water? Not only does water help to flush out the toxins in your body it also helps energize the muscles... Cells that don’t maintain their balance of fluids and electrolytes shrivel, which can result in muscle fatigue especially when you are very physically active... Water can also help control calories, which can help with weight loss, and it also helps with making your skin look good and radiant.. So get that water in daily..#thickvegan #fitchick #healthylifestyle #cleaneating #water #vegan 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💯💯💯
