It was such a beautiful weekend here in Bellingham. The sun was out, the birds were chirping and it seemed that the entire community was outside enjoying the beautiful weather.
We got three or four wonderful walks in (and passed the beautiful artwork above several times) and busted out the mango-kale-kefir-orange-chia seed smoothies for our happy household (yes, even Jamisen gets in on the green smoothie action). Everyone in the office got out and enjoyed the sun too which means we were all happy  and energized from our weekend. It’s the best Monday ever! As I’m writing this, I’m finishing the day with a square of heart-healthy Taza dark chocolate. Nom nom!

Get your greens in with this delicious green smoothie recipe!
It’s kind of like a cold gazpacho soup – in theory, it lasts overnight in the fridge but it tastes better fresh. I used to pre-load the blender with everything I wanted for the morning and then just would blend in the morning (so no washing, chopping in morning, just hit the ‘blend!’ button and wash the blender).
I have a question for all you health foodies. My DH just got a professional blender and we are starting on the fruit and vegie smoothies. So far they are great, although I still try to get other vegies in as well. My question is: does anyone know how long these will stay ‘good for you’? Like could he make one the night before and I could have it for breakfast in the morning. Alot of times we are starting our day off to work at 5:30am… don’t want to blend that early!
I’m starting on the healthy bandwagon too, I already feel so much better!
Juicing in batches is such a great way to stay prepared. Just make sure to keep it in the fridge, depending on your recipe it should still say fresh after one-to-two days!
