Perfect Green Smoothie!

My absolute favorite thing right now are Green Smoothies! They're full of leafy green vegies which are powerhouses of nutrition. With Halloween coming up I love being able to toss all of this in a blender and take it with me on the go. Prepping this Halloween bod is a full time job!

Here's my favorite recipe for green smoothies, it makes the PERFECT delicious creamy sweet smoothie.

2 cups of kale
2 cups of spinach
1 banana(or 5 strawberries)
1/2 an avocado
1/2 c unsweetened almond milk

Put all ingredients in the blender and blend until completely smooth! You shouldn't see any leaf piece from the greens. Serve immediately.

This recipe is about 260 calories so omit the almond milk and replace the banana with an other lower calorie fruit to lower the calories for a smoothie as a snack instead of a meal.

First post! Some Monday Motivation.

Finally stopped making excuses and started a blog. Funny how giving up your excuses is exactly what you need to accomplish absolutely anything you want to do!

So today I'm asking all of you to make a choice to STOP making excuses and START making progress.

What are you going to accomplish?

Here are some steps I use when I want to accomplish a goal:

1. Choose your goal and write it down. I always do better when my goals are on paper or my cell phone, put them somewhere you'll see them everyday!

2. Make a plan. How can you realistically accomplish this goal? This is a good time to decide if your goal is so amazing that it needs to be broken into smaller goals. Remember to be specific! Want to get skinny? Make a meal plan, schedule specific times for workouts, and make specific weight loss goals and deadlines!

3. Tell your friends/twitter followers/family/co-workers to help hold you accountable or even join you! Having a support system is ESSENTIAL!

4. ACCOMPLISH IT. The most important key to accomplishing your goal is to not stand in your own way with laziness or excuses. Nothing is impossible, it might be difficult but if it was easy everyone would do it.

So get up right now and do this. Don't put it on your to-do list. Just do it and do it now. You'll thank me later when you're a skinny sexy bitch or a rocket scientist or both, whatever you're into. :)
