“Drink your vegetables!”

Not what you remember hearing at the dinner table, is it?  Why does it seem so hard for us to get enough green stuff into our bodies every day?  Personally, if I don’t have something green everyday I start to crave spinach and broccoli, but I know its not like that for everyone.  So here’s something Tiffany, our Meridian Exercise Expert, taught me not that long ago that helps green our diets AND can help those in the Weight Loss Club survive a day of “liquids”:

• 1 bunch of spinach, cleaned well (I use a small bag of prewashed baby spinach) (sweet, bitter)
• The juice of 1 lime (or lemon) (sour)
• 1/2 to a whole bag of frozen blueberries (or any frozen berries–I like strawberries) (sweet, sour)
• 1 ripe avocado (sweet)
• 1 squirt of liquid stevia (optional, but do add if you have a sweet craving) (sweet)
• 1 cup (plus more if needed) of water

1. Blend all ingredients in your blender
2. Drink it up!

This is a great cooling drink that will last for about 2 days, refrigerated.  If you make it in the morning, you can sip on it all day long.  Its delicious, really, and perfect for increasing your energy levels.
