Thirsty Thursday: Green (New) Machine Smoothie

Here we are, the beginning of another year. I am sure we are all trying to make eating healthy a resolution (or routine check out this post I did over at Chicago Parent). I know I am. I have started to get a little more active, and I am trying to make small changes to my eating habits.

I can tell you that this year I really am trying to make more sensible choices I can live with. Little changes, one at a time that I can do every day. Let’s face it, I’m never going to stop baking treats, it is part of what I do, however, I can eat healthy the rest of the day so that I can enjoy those treats in moderation.

So this week for #ThirstyThursday I decided to show off the Ninja Mr. Home Everyday bought me for Christmas this year (no not a real Ninja). Now my morning routine consists of a healthy smoothie!

I call this smoothie the Green New Machine smoothie because it is green and I used my new machine.

Green New Machine Smoothie
1/2 a ripe avocado
2 cups raw baby spinach
1- 1 1/2 cups pineapple (chopped)
1 cup filtered water or coconut water
Ice to create desired consistency (optional)

In a blender add ingredients, put on lid, and pulse until ice is chopped. Then blend on medium for about 1 minute or until desired consistency.

Turns out, I’m not the only one who likes it. Mr. Home Everyday took one with him to work today, and this little guy snuck a few sips before he walked out the door!

If you are looking to get healthy, try this small simple change for breakfast everyday. For another smoothie recipe check out this awesome Peachberry one I made this summer.

Also, if you are looking for a little more inspiration, check out my friend Samantha over at The Peanuts Gang is working hard doing Treadmill Tuesday updates, and today is talking about the progress she has made in just one month. I’m out the door to the gym today because of her!
