A New Year's Resolution, really?

Yeah - everyone has them even though they made not admit it, or that they end up fizzling out by the end of January or sometime later on in the year.

My New Year's resolution this year is really for me and Allie.

I am constantly worried that Allie is not getting enough variety in her diet...main vegetables. (Remember this post?!) So, as a fix to this worry and to aide in my health, we've started Green Smoothies.

Bana told us about Green Smoothies many months ago during one of her visits and it wasn't until this worry popped up, that I sought after learning more about it.

I bought the Green Smoothie Diet and read it cover to cover the first day. By the next day, we were blending away! Raw spinach, kale, collard greens, chard....all were going in to....a drink! Of course, we were mixing it with yummies too - bananas, grapes, apples, pears, etc. Whatever we could find! I also bought some raw agave nectar as a substitute for sweetener. (We actually started this resolution a few week's before New Year!)

This is what the drinks turned out to look like...

First one turned out a little dark because I put some frozen mixed berries...it was yummy!

The second was a bit greener but a little yummier! I added pear and it was so smooth!!

I had Allie give it a little taste test...

I was a little nervous....but this is the reaction that I got...

YAY!! That cup wasn't too kid friendly, so I decided to make a baby green smoothie...CUTE!

Here's to a happy and healthy NEW YEAR, ya'll!!
