My Breakfast Ritual



Once I get to work, I usually have a giant cup of warm water with a lemon slice. Once I finish 3/4's of it, then I get to start on my green smoothie.

I've been having a green smoothie every day (usually weekday) for breakfast and it's getting to be a part of my daily fuel. Lately, I've been buying frozen spinach and wild blueberries and other assorted frozen fruits from TJ's like mango, papaya, pineapple, and I individually portion them in ziplocs (which I reuse) to make things faster in the morning. What takes time is adding the extras. But this is what I have been drinking lately, every since I got the beautiful VitaMix 5200 that I got from my family for a mixed birthday/xmas gift:

1 stalk celery
frozen spinach
frozen blueberries
frozen papaya
1/2 frozen banana
almond milk
hemp protein powder (only $10 at TJ's!)
3 tablets of spirulina (TJ's)
flax seed

sometimes 2-3 dates
water

= YUM! I good til lunchtime!

After my smoothie, my drink of choice is yerba mate. I've grown accustomed to its earthy, smoky taste.
