Eating Healthy

I thought I would share a couple of things that I have been eating since I started this 2012 journey to better health. Last night for dinner we had salad. Yum! I LOVE salad.

Salad:
- Green leaf and iceberg lettuce (I forgot to put my spinach leaves)
- Chopped Carrots
- Just a little shredded cheddar cheese (maybe 1 Tbs)
- About 1/2 Tbs of turkey bacon pieces
- Chickpeas
- Honey Mustard Dressing (I put just enough on my salad for taste)
- My family put grilled chicken on theirs. I opted to leave it off.

A new favorite for me is a green smoothie. I make it in a magic bullet cup so I am not 100% sure on the amount of stuff I add but I will guess for you.
Green Smoothie:
- 2 handfuls of spinach leaves
- 1 banana (peeled of course)
- 1 handful of blueberries
- 2 Tbs plain greek yogurt
- 1/2 Cup pineapple juice
- 1/2 Cup water
Blend until everything is pureed! Super healthy and you can add whatever kind of fruits and veggies you would like.

I will try to remember to take pictures for some of my future posts about food. I love easy recipes and I prefer healthy stuff but you just never know what I might serve up.
