"Stay far away, Cold." Green/Brown Smoothie

There is some sort of summer cold going around and I decided I had to make a smoothie that would beat up any cold viruses before it entered into my body. Garlic, Onion, Lemon, and Honey are the most amazing foods to put in your body when and before you become sick. They help boost the immune system and kill those buggers. If I catch a cold I will eat all four constantly and in about 2 days I will be healed. HEALED! No masking up the symptoms with cold medicine. CURED and Healed. That is the way I like to be. This smoothie does though have a sweet onion flavor and a garlic after taste (which I LOVE). 

 

Ingredients:

1 Banana
1 cup of Carrots
1/4 cup of Broccoli
1 1/2 cup of Spinach
1/2 cup chopping local grown onion (can be whatever onion you have in your house)
1 clove of Garlic
1 cup of frozen Blueberries
Half a Lemon
1 tablespoon of Honey
1 teaspoon of Chia Seeds
1 Teaspoon of Bee Pollen
Oat Milk

Place all the ingredients in your #Vitamix. Blend for 20 seconds. Pour into a cup and or mason jar. Enjoy!

 

What Meal Prep looks like.

This is what a good meal prep looks like. The top of the tower is a red apple for a snack. Then my "Holy Sweet Balls, Batman!" that I made on Sunday. The recipe is posted here. The red contianer is filled with this sunday's meal prep "Grilled Spicy Zucchini". You can find the recipe here. Which can be eaten hot or cold and since I ate it hot yesterday today it will be cold and on top of a bed of fresh spinach from my garden. I just made this prep into an amazing salad!

I also make a green smoothie every morning for breakfst. This is today's smoothie which the recipe will be posted after this blog post!

Meal Prep 24 Jun 13

My lunch was totally prepped on sunday. I will be posting the recipe for the Broccoli and Cheddar soup which is in the contianer on the bottom of the stack. The middle is spinach salad with chick peas, cheese, and broccoli. Then the top is just cut up watermelon with some salt. Then a nectarine, apple, and banana. This is another award winning lunch. Love it! How do you meal prep?
