sneaking in veggies

Find myself gravitating back toward a predominantly raw food diet again, except I'm not calling it raw, just "eating as much fresh food as possible, without getting rigid about it." Which means that yesterday at the Labor Day parade I was free to enjoy several soft chewy Tootsie Rolls!

Here's my recipe for a delicious smoothie that you'd never know contains the equivalent of two big salads. My daughter and I love sharing this for breakfast or after school.

2 c. fresh fruit juice (I like OJ best)
2-3 bananas (either fresh or frozen will work)
1 c. blueberries (fresh or frozen)
4 c. salad greens (I use two giant handfuls of the organic stuff from Costco that comes in a big tub. It's already washed and ready to eat.)

optional: a peach or mango if you have one handy
whey protein powder

Blend it up, adding water if necessary. The blueberries will make sure it comes out purple, not green. Mmm mmm good!
