Sounds disgusting but I made this smoothie for breakfast and I am so full!


1 beet, chopped
2 large apples w/ skin, chopped
2 cups unsweetened applesauce
½ green pepper, chopped
½ cup green lettuce, chopped
½ cup skim milk
4 tsp powdered sugar (or other sweetener like Truvia)
sprinkle of lemon juice

Yields about 7 cups blended
78 cals per serving

I had five cups today, haha! If I made it again I might put in just half a beet and add a banana so I don't have to sweeten it as much.

Eat clean balsalmic pork chops with grilled nectarines (from eat clean magazine) was a huge hit with my whole family and was very easy to prepare. I served them with quinoa and broccoli. It was a really healthy, but great tasting meal. Even my youngest, who normally groans when quinoa is on the menu had a clean plate! I substituted peaches for the nectarines because that is what I had on hand:
