My Mean Green Smoothie

So I've been on juice plus for about 6 weeks now, but i wouldn't say I've stuck to it very well if I'm being honest.

So i have tried to mix things up abit and i came up with this smoothie.
Now normally I'm not the kind of person who would have a load of greens in a meal, but i think i need this to mix it up from the basic juice plus recipe.

What you will need:

2 Apples
1 Cucumber
1 stick of celery
2 bananas
2 big handfuls of Kale
juice of 1 big Lemon
2 cups of water
and if you like an ice crunch, put in a few ice cubes.

simply chop all your ingredients, put them in a blender and whizz your way to greeny goodness.
This recipe should yield 4 pint glasses of Mean Green, so if you want to yield 1 glass, just quarter the recipe.

Juice Plus 2nd weigh in

sorry this post is 2 days late, been very busy in work.

but i have to say i had abit of a cheat weekend, we had a take away on Friday and Saturday and i went out Saturday night (couldn't resist the hen party)

But leading up to the weekend i was doing very well at sticking to the juice plus plan, although not doing as much exercise as i would like as I'm watching every game of the world cup and also fitting in Andy Murray around that.

Most days i would have a shake for breakfast and tea, and for lunch in work i would have my homemade tomato soup (ill post a recipe soon) which is just so yummy! and a wholemeal pitta bread.
And that seems to do the business and curb my hunger.

My tomato and garlic soup
So onto the main event, weight.

at the start of week 2 i weighed 13st 13lbs
at the end of week 2 i weighed  13st 11lbs

So Ive still lost 2lbs and overall gone from 203lbs to 193lbs in 2 weeks.

happy days.
