\"Go-To-GM-2\"<\/p>\n

Dee’s Green Monster<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s official. I have leapt over the “green monster” cliff – I’m a green monster lemming!\u00a0 Angela, you and Jen are to are to blame for my sudden fondness of something that looks like liquid lawn clippings but tastes like heaven.<\/p>\n

As a long-time breakfast dropout, my morning “meals” usually consisting of coffee or sugar free Red Bull. I know!\u00a0 Not *exactly* breakfast of champions. Or at least not of rookie runners who are trying to get back into real shape and have taken a new interest in nutrition.<\/p>\n

I was very dubious about this green monster thingy. It looked…gross. But I figured, hey, I know I’m not getting enough fruits & veggies in my day and I seem to be able to handle sipping “breakfast” even if I can’t always face something requiring chewing.\u00a0 So off the cliff I leapt.<\/p>\n

After a few experiments, here’s my favorite go-to GM:<\/p>\n

\u20221 tbs flax seed
\n\u20222 leaves kale (I strip the leaves off the ribs and discard the ribs – my blender is a wuss and keels over at the mere thought of blending up those ribs)
\n\u2022a big handful of spinach (maybe 2-ish cups?)
\n\u2022one banana
\n\u2022a few frozen strawberries
\n\u20221 cup of Almond Breeze original<\/p>\n

Awesome!\u00a0 I have become addicted and find myself in a funk if I skip my daily GM.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
