I have to admit it, I am and addict. I am (hope I can say was soon) addicted to Soda. I used to drink several cans a day, then I dropped to one a day and then I was not even finishing one a day, but I was still drinking it.
In my mind, it was ok. It was diet and it was saving me some calories. I kept reading and hearing all these things about diet soda and I was in denial. It just fell so good down my throat. It has been 7 days straight without having a sip. I am not going to lie, the first days I had headaches and I was thinking about it and I had cravings for bread and sugar. But I have been strong. I have been having water infused with fruits, detox water (with apples and cinnamon) and sparkling water. I have been walking daily, so I am thirsty and I am drinking a lot of water. I have been eating watery fruits such as watermelon to help me with my cravings. It has been only 7 days but I am committed to continue with my goal. I am staying strong. Now, to get creative with my water intake! My son is not really a picky eater. We have a rule in our house you must try everything food at least once. If you do not like it, you will not eat it then, but we will try it again in a couple of months. Yes, I have to admit myself that there a few food flavors that I did not like at first when growing up and then as an adult I have learnt to like them. Olives is a great example. So, to help my son to learn to eat new foods, we try them, and we try them all over again. We have gone from not liking guacamole to love it (as long as is spicy), same things with other foods. Now, I we have found a way to get even more different nutrients that otherwise he might not be eating as much. We are having green smoothies. To the smoothies we can add pretty much anything, but the one he really likes is the Kale/banana/strawberry one. So here it is, we are sharing it with you. It is healthy and it is yummy. Ingredients
Preparation Mix all the ingredients together and enjoy I like to put all fruits or vegetables ingredients in a bag so I can freeze, they are ready at all times and we just have to add the water and juice to the blender for easy preparation. If you try it with your family and they like it, let us know.
