Okay...1/5 the way done. :)

Here is one from a friend: Kale and/or leaf lettuce as a base (always blend the greens smooth with a bit of water first), then other ingredients such as celery, cucumber and apple. To this I add frozen fruit such as mixed berries, pineapple, peaches or mango. To smooth it out, I add yogurt, avocado or banana - and always…

I use Kale mostly but also spinach. First blend it with some liquid until it is liquified then add the other ingredients. Kale, frozen banana and strawberries (blueberry , mango or pineapple as alternatives), plain greek yogurt, stevia, dark chocolate almond milk. Yummy! I sometimes make it with water as the liquid. Cuts…

Throw something green into a breakfast smoothie. Blend it well first with a little liquid. Ex. Kale, spinach, etc. You will not taste it and will add a serving of a good veggie.

It's smoothie season for me. Never ending possibilities and additives for extra nutrition.

This conversation was very helpful to me as i was stressing about the same. I do need to cut back but I will not worry about the natural sugars in my diet through plain Greek yogurt and fruit ( it is smoothie season for me). Thanks!

Point well taken...but I can put some muscle into mopping a floor! LOL

I just started using kale. First experiences good. Last not so. I think I will try freezing it. I need it to break down more. Here is a recipe my sis sent me: • 1 med-large Banana • 1/2 cup Kale • 3/4 cup Mango • 1 cup Spinach • 1/2 cup Pineapple • 1/2 cup or one large leaf Collard Greens • 1 cup Almond or Coconut Milk…

Thanks, that and a sister that gets on my regularly! HaHa!

Oh how I love pumpkin! I don't use splenda. Any suggestions out there on other alternatives?

A must fix when I visit my sister. Just remember to scrub your hands afterwards or wear gloves when cleaning the peppers! :)

Thank you Samntha! My treadmill has a gadget that measures it although i don't know how accurate it is.

Thanks, I found a website called calorie count. I do have a pretty sedentary job. Lots of time at my desk and on the computer. :( Wish my fingers could burn energy for the rest of me. Ha Ha! Time to go find out what HRM means.

Thank you. I typed it in but it did not give me the calories burned for the event.

Hi, Thanks, how many calories did you log per time spent?
