Radish Greens Smoothie

Day 30

In my new quest to mix up my greens I used Radish Greens in my smoothie today! Yes I said Radish GREENS. We are more accustomed to eating just the red root part of the radish but in doing so we are missing out on so many great vitamins and minerals. Radish greens contains 6 times the Vitamin C of the root and are also higher in calcium and protein than the root. These vegetable greens are Cruciferous which means they are part of the Cabbage family. Radish greens also possess cancer-protecting properties and are high in sulfur which helps support the digestive system. Radish Greens also contain properties that are beneficial for symptoms of colds, flu, fevers and other respiratory problems. This smoothie came out so awesome (and the color a gorgeous light mint green) that I wrote it down quickly before I forgot it! I think this smoothie would be perfect for spring and summer because it is so light and cooling.

Radish Greens Smoothie Recipe:

Base of filtered water and aloe vera juice.
2 oranges, 1 apple, 1/2 cucumber with peel.
1 tsp Maca, 1 tbs Hemp Oil
1 cup Radish Greens
1 Radish for good measure
sweeten to taste ( I didnt add sweetener)

Tonight I listened to the David Wolfe interview from the Raw Mom Summit Interviews. Best $97 I ever spent. I am grateful for his brilliant mind.

POST WORKOUT SMOOTHIE

Still Day 10

Today it was a co workers birthday so I picked him up a (SAD) (SAD= Standard American Diet ) Cake BUT I grabbed some Vegan Sugar Cookies for myself. They were soooo good. I had two of them suckers with some Almond Milk.

Then I made my POST WORKOUT SMOOTHIE before I went to the gym. Today at the gym I did interval training on the StationaryBike then did One Legged Squats, Squats with Dumbell and Mountain Climbers.
Then I went to boxing for an hour and afterwards did a 15 minute ab workout...a cool new addition to an already kick ass class.
This was a good week as I did Cardio/lower body at GYM and TracYoga Tuesday then Wednesday I did FredYoga. I am still reading "The New Rules of Lifting For Women" by Lou Schuler so that wont be incorporated into my fitness schedule until next month. I dropped Bootcamp to make room for more weight training. I see the best results with weights.

POST WORKOUT SMOOTHIE RECIPE:
Base of Chia Seeds, Cod Flax and Udo Oil. Date Sugar, Maca, Hemp Shake Protein Powder.
Chard, kale, Collard, Apple, Lemon, Tomatoes, Celery and Carrots.

This was Hardcore. Not sure I like Carrots in these Smoothies although I am excited to make a "V8" one of these days.

Then I came home and had a bowl of crack.
