21 Smoothies

21 Smoothies 
My Alkalinity Bliss looking a little more light green... and a tarte lipstick I got from the January Glossybox... Its a little scary too! Ha!
Blueberry Ginger:
People MAKE THIS NOW!
I have been a little bad on posting these and other
things but here is a little round up of two more. 
I haven't done my smoothie today. I decided it should be
a dinner thin. 

I'm just too tired! lol

So the alkalinity smoothie was actually pretty good. 
Definitely for being a green (mine turned out baby green)
smoothie it is still very easy and tasty.

The real star of wonderful flavor was the blueberry ginger.
This wonderful lavender/purple smoothie was sooooo good guys.
The blueberry gives it the fruity and the ginger the freshness.
It's pure perfection!

21 Smoothies

My variety of Hale to Kale with a little mag reading

I though to myself in what ways could I physically
attempt to show some love for myself.

Then I received an email from Men's Health
claiming to have found 20-something smoothies
that not only have good for you ingredients,
but are also quite tasty.

Or so was the claim.

I've read around many juice cleanses and smoothie lore
so I understand risks and benefits from attempting either.
But I don't think I will ever have the will to do a juice cleanse
(or any "cleanse" really)
due to the mere fact that I need to eat.

So me and a couple of co-workers decided it would be fun
(and hopefully beneficial to our health)
to put these smoothies to the taste test.

This will be 21 smoothies in place of my breakfast 
or just as an add on for the day
everyday for 21 days.

In good challenge style I will try and incorporate 
all ingredients included in each recipe.
But since I'm pretty broke some things might be outed if
they aren't used in more than one recipe.
And if I can't find them.

Up for today is Hale to Kale.
