I’m obsessed with smoothies.  I make one every morning and I think I would experience symptoms of withdrawal were I not to have one (or two) every day.  On Saturday, I made this one:

1 zucchini, 2 grapefruit, frozen strawberries, 1 TB of flax seeds, 1/2 red bell pepper, 1 carrot

I know it sounds a little strange, but it really is tasty.  The bell pepper gave it a little kick.  Yum!

And Sunday, I had pretty much the same thing, except without the bell pepper and grapefruit and with some kale and banana.  Matt was curious at how many calories these smoothies have in them so I did a rough calculation of Saturday’s smoothie– 273.  That’s it!  Both of us expected it to be higher.

Today, I’m enjoying banana, orange, strawberry, flax (1 full TB), zucchini, kale, and carrot.  Delicious!  If you’re planning to try one of these for the first time, I have to caution you to not expect them to be like milkshakes or all-fruit smoothies.  These do have some texture to them and probably aren’t as sweet as what you’d expect.  But how else can you cram so many good-for-you foods into one meal!
