Smoothie Feast: Day 1 of 60
Started my smoothie feast today but the first thing I had to do was go off to the supermarket and stock up for the week. I've made myself a 7 day smoothie menu where I can have a different smoothie every day for the forthcoming week.
Today I made myself half a piel de sapo melon with a bunch of fresh parsley, chucked into the Blendtec and whizzed up. This tasted refreshing, it quenched my thirst and made my mouth taste clean and fresh. I give it a rating of 4 out of 5.
Piel de sapo melon and parsley smoothie
The piel de sapo melon originated in Spain where it is widely grown. It is similar to a cantaloupe melon on the inside and it's a source of vitamin C and dietary fibre, it's low in calories and sodium...and contains neither fat nor cholesterol.
Parsley is a source of flavanoid, antioxidant, apigenin, folic acid, vitamins K, C and A.
For lunch I had a banana and carob powder smoothie and for dinner I had a smoothie consisting of 2 bananas, 2 apples, 4 dates and a couple of chard leaves. This dinner smoothie was very filling and satisfying.
I'm only going to rate one smoothie and they are going to be ones that I haven't made before, as all of my smoothies tend to consist of bananas and some sort of green...so I'm trying to be more adventuresome and make totally different smoothies.
I've been feeling a little bit wiped out today and I have a slight headache now. I've also been feeling a bit mucousy so I hope I'll have a good night's sleep and wake up feeling better.
Day 1 went well...it's amazing how much more time I have for myself without having to think about what I'm going to prepare for meals. I've got my menu for the week so I just bung the ingredients into the blender and I'm done...life made simple (and it saves on the washing up!)
Hasta pronto
