Smoothie

I have been looking for the perfect smoothie for quite some time. I thought that I had it a year or so ago and then I embarked on a different journey to find out what kind of food my body likes and stopped making them because they had cow's milk and yogurt which my body doesn't like. So I ask everyone I can think of, I look it up on line, I try different things and nothing is as good without the dairy. The week before last I caught a cold and I was super sick, like in bed all day sick and I had no appetite at all but I definitely needed some nutrition. I think smoothie would work! Sifu Brinker told me that it is good to put broccoli in your smoothie because it is packed with all kinds of amazing nutrients, done. I like strawberries, raspberries and blueberries because they are yummy, done. I also like spinach, a lot, done. I added a bit of protein and some water and ta-da, the most amazing smoothie ever was born. I don't know if it healed me faster or anything like that (I really felt like I was on my death bed for several days!) but I definitely got some nutrient in me and it tasted good. I went back to work on Saturday last week, still sniffling and all but okay and I decided to keep the smoothie in my daily routine. I have had a smoothie everyday since then and been quite pleased with the results. Lots of energy, stayed full and satisfied until lunch and not that many calories. Until today......I figure why not have one of your tried and true breakfast choices instead, what was I thinking? I have literally dragged my butt through this entire day, forcing myself to stay busy and keep moving, I didn't even realize what I had done differently until I was re-capping my day with my husband. I will not skip my smoothie again because today was not fun!
