Favorite Green Smoothie - Zenergy

I was recently back on the East Coast and I stopped in to my favorite smoothie/salad/health food spot, Green and Tonic, off of Greenwich Avenue and got a "Zenergy" smoothie. Packed with greens, protein and other goodies, the smoothie filled me up and made me feel great for the rest of the day (after eating - and drinking- terribly for the days prior...). I decided to recreate it back on the West Coast and it's helping me start my day off right and get me back on track with my healthy eating. Try it out and let me know what you think - and comment your favorite smoothie recipes below!

Have a Healthy Weekend!

It usually takes me about 3-4 days to really commit to a diet/health kick. If I cheat on day 2, I am so far gone I have to wait another month to start again. I am on day 3 right now and am feeling great. I picked up a Green Guru smoothie from green&tonic in Greenwich, which was delicious! If you haven't been, there are locations in Greenwich, Cos Cob, Darien, Mamaroneck and Armonk and they have 4 options for cleanses and one includes food (score!). They have chia puddings and salads and soups and great cold pressed juices and smoothies. Are you guys fans of green juices? I may be a total weirdo because I love them...  Below is the recipe for the one I had today - you have to try it! I'd love to hear from my readers your favorite healthy recipes and favorite places to get healthy smoothies and juices - help a girl out!
