Or a green monsta!
As you all know, I'm participating in the Great 48 Instagram weight loss challenge. To really jump start this challenge I decided that I'm going to do a 2 or 3 day detox type challenge. I am going to - waiiiit for it - drink only green smoothies for the next two possibly three days. I want to do 3 days but I might not make it. LOL! We shall see if the willpower persists!
Why you may ask? Well why not! I love green smoothies. Great meal replacements as well as a great snack so why not have it for both! I plan on drinking 5 green smoothies a day. Breakfast. Snack. Lunch. Snack. Dinner. No snack. Oh and I will have an apple for my pre workout snack.
Okay okay okay I know some of you are like what in the world is a green smoothie! Well my little grasshoppers it is something I never knew about until last year! It's a smoothie with fruit and leafy greens (usually spinach or kale). I use Spinach in mine normally and when I feel like living on the edge I'll throw in some Kale. Kale is a different acquired taste for me. That I haven't acquired yet. My normal green smoothie recipe is a very simple one: About a cup of water, some ice, lots of spinach (2 - 4 handfuls - start small until you get use to the taste), a cup of frozen strawberries, and a small frozen banana. Your fruit doesn't have to be frozen but I prefer it that way so it can be nice and chilled and kind of thick! Sometimes like in the picture below I add in other fruit like blueberries or frozen mango chunks as well as some protein powder! With my challenge I will add protein powder to one of the smoothies every day!
Now when you're detoxing you're not usually as energized as you can be so I don't know how my first few days of Insanity (yes I start that tomorrow!) will go! But come Thursday I hope to be like the Hulk or at least a green energizer bunny!
Wish me luck. I will keep you all updated on how it goes!
xoxo, the coily bombshell
