4 Ingredient Go Green Smoothie

breakfast
I'll confess.
My pants are too tight. Not the just-out-of-the-dryer tight, but the yank-'em-up-and-hope-they-button tight.
Those morsels of spritz cookies, pizza, cider, hot chocolate, appetizers, potatoes, ham...etc are haunting me now. Jingle bells should be translated into jiggle love handles! Anyway, I always feel better after I eat fresh, wholesome, and light meals for a few weeks after the holidays. Plus, my pants tend to fit better too :)
Enter my favorite light breakfast: My go green smoothie.
Most of the time, I like it just as it is. Sometimes, I add some flax seed or oatmeal to make a little more filling.
It's definitely one of those things that you have to have a taste for. And my husband, well, he still thinks I'm crazy when I wander around the house, slurping my green stuff, and proclaiming, "This is SO good."
Maybe you'll think I'm crazy too. Oh, well.
Here are the ingredients:
I think that the lime is the star of this go green smoothie.

Yum! that actually looks really good- and maybe the kids would think the green is cool....
Hmmmm...I've been wanting to try a green smoothie. So the spinach doesn't mess with the fruit flavor? I might have to try it. :) And you made me LOL about your pants...mine are the SAME way. Haha!
