So...I'm trying my best to transform my eating habits. I'm trying my best to become healthy, fit and all around the best I can be. It has been tough but I've manged to loose 26 lbs this last year and I've learned that I can still enjoy each and every food I've ever loved but in extreme moderation. Green smoothies as a dinner or meal replacement have really helped me meet my goals! They are not only very filling but they are super healthy and you can sneak healthy foods into the smoothie that you wouldnt normally eat alone. (spinach in my case)
Here's the recipe for one of my favorite smoothies:
1/2 banana
1/2 cup melon
1 cup frozen pineapple
1 large handful spinach
1/2 cup Greek yogurt (you can omit if you don't like or can't have dairy)
1 splash coconut milk
1/2-1 tablespoon chia seeds (I don't add them to the mix until the end because they quickly become sticky and add a strange texture to the smoothie. If you add them to the top at the end and then drink it right away they add a fun crunchy texture!) (Chia is soooo good for you! )

Blend until smooth and enjoy!
(I have a Ninja blender and can't say enough good things about it! Much easier to use and clean than traditional blenders and extremely powerful :)
If you enjoy this recipe make sure you mix it up and try different combinations of fruits and veggies! The options are endless!
