What About Green Smoothies???



For years I have read about 'green smoothies' and how healthy they are for you.  Healthy is good, but tasty is better!!   Green smoothies are typically made with any variety of greens - kale, Swiss chard, spinach, lettuce etc.  along with fruits and/or flavors - apples, lemons cucumbers...the sky is the limit! 
I have tried many varieties over the years and am slowly acquiring a taste for smoothies, even green ones!  My favorite secret is to get a chocolate protein powder base (or vanilla and add cocoa)...add frozen fruit, honey and greens.  The chocolate covers any green taste and the honey adds a touch of sweetness.  I have felt a difference since drinking smoothies...more energy, the confidence in knowing you are getting some great nutrients and less calories consumed.  Drinking a few smoothies a week is a great way to digest more vegetables and nutrients.
I found this free Kindle book - 31 Green Smoothies: Heal your body and lose weight with nutritious and delicious green smoothie recipes (Healthy Smoothies).  I haven't read it yet, but look forward to learning more about how to enjoy something that brings about such good results.  Click HERE for your free kindle download.

Sometimes We Score, Sometimes We Block

Our family is in the midst of little league soccer season. My youngest son is playing and his enthusiasm is contagious. He is pretty good at the sport, but what makes it so great is that he loves it! He counts the days until the next game or practice. He loves his coach and teammates. He has moved up an age level this year and the players are working more like team, passing to each other and watching out for each other during play. During the last game, my son scored two goals, they were the only goals of the game. In today's game the team scored eight goals. My son came up afterwards to me and said, "I didn't score today, but I blocked". What a powerful truth those words can hold. In life, sometimes we score, sometimes we block. Sometimes we do great things, we excel, we achieve, we meet our goal - we score! There are also times we see the needs of others, sometimes they are sad or hurting, we block their hits. We look out for them so they can score. We...

Word Filled Wednesday – Act Justly

He has shown you, O man, what is good;       And what does the LORD require of you                But to do justly, To love mercy,       And to walk humbly with your God?    Micah 6:8 Sometimes we struggle so hard with the question “What does God want us to do and be?”  This verse is a simple yet powerful reminder of some simple things that God requires of us.  Act and do justly, love mercy and walk humbly before God.  There are numerous opportunities each day to do justly, to do the right thing or to make the right choice.  We love mercy when we show kindness or mercy oftentimes to those who do not deserve it.  Walking humbly before God is acknowledging He alone is God.  He is the I AM – no one else is.  When we give Him the glory He is worthy of, it will humble our heart before Him....
