Holiday Festivities. Apple Spinach Twist. Smoothie Feast Day 7

Smoothie Feast Day 7

Wanna catch up on what you’ve missed?

START HERE.

The holiday festivities are in full swing!
I’m stiiiill smoothie feasting lol :)
On Day 7 we had family dinner at my Dad’s house.
My uncle Ryan and his family came over.
This picture is of me
and my lil cousin, Eva.

Morning
Before leaving the house I had
2 cups of water
4 cups of ginger tea

Afternoon

Later on I had
3 cups of water
And about 6 cups of Apple Spinach Twist.
SUPER YUM! See the recipe below:

This recipe makes nearly 8 cups
of Apple Spinach Twist

2 heaping handfuls of spinach
4 apples
1 Banana (very ripe)
1/2 cup of lemon juice
1/2 cup of water
1 TBLSP of raw honey

Now before we move on from
the Apple Spinach Twist..
I have to tell you
I was NOT the only one
who enjoyed this smoothie :)

This is a picture of my dearest Uncle Ryan.
He saw me with the green smoothie and said,
“What’s in that?”
I told him…
And he said,
“Really… Can I… try that?”
I smiled and said,
“Of course you can.”
His first words after tasting the Apple Spinach Twist…
“This is actually… really… good!”
My heart beamed with joy.
After Uncle Ryan’s approval
the kids all wanted to try it too.
I’ve got video of this lol. Will share it with you on wednesday mixed in with a little Raw Music ;)

EVENING

1 1/2 cups of avocado smoothie
(same recipe as smoothie feast day one)
Remember my post about
how to travel with smoothies?
Well I used a lot of those little
frozen cups to bring to the dinner.
Everyone who tried the
avocado smoothie enjoyed it!
That’s my Auntie Gretchen.
She’s planning to try
quite a few of these smoothie recipes
at home for the kids.
Her & Uncle Ryan are already
very health conscious
and open to trying new things.

Below you’ll see my Dad and Uncle Ryan.
Believe it or not… It passed the man test with flying colours lol. I let one of the kids pass out the little frozen cups of avocado smoothie. When my Dad first recieved it, he didn’t realize that it was “healthy” lol.

His first words were,
“This is from YOU?”
I smiled and said yes.
He said,
“It’s really good.”
(My heart said praise the Lord)

Uncle Ryan said the
avocado smoothie tasted
kind of like a sorbet.
I agree with him!
It’s the lemony zip that
gives it that feeling.
If you haven’t tried my avocado smoothie yet, it has now officially been tried tested and true.
(same recipe as the avocado smoothie recipe from smoothie feast day one) So go ahead and knock your socks off lol. Give it a whirl and see what ya get ;)

Later that evening when I got home I had
4 cups of Spicy Kale Tomato Soup.
Again I warmed it up with coconut oil and almond butter.
Tasted just as beautiful as it did on Smoothie Feast Day Four

You can read about what my cousin Carmen said about this Spicy Kale Tomato Soup Recipe on
Smoothie Feast Day 6. It’s delish.

How im feeling

I’m still enjoying the
Smoothie Feast, BUT…
Day 7 was harder than Day 6.
Why?
Probably because the food was
SO IN MY FACE today lol.
Being at the family table
Is VERY different from being at a church pot luck
where all the food is far away from your seat.
I made it, but it was tough.
My step mom is a REALLY good cook.
The food smelled awesome…
but I stuck to my smoothies!
They’re awesome tooooo :) lol.
Left my house for my Dad’s place around 2:30PM
Got home close to 9PM i think.
So again I was out most of the day.
I feel good about how today went.
It’s 11:30PM as I’m writing
and I am going to bed :)

Disclaimer
You should always check with your doctor before you make drastic changes to your diet for an extended period of time. Although I’ve never done a smoothie feast for longer than a few days, I’ve been eating mostly raw foods since the Spring of 2010, so this is not a drastic change for me. Should you choose to follow along with me or have your own personal smoothie feast, make sure you listen to your body and stay well balanced by using a wide variety of food. And remember you do not have to do 56 days to start reaping the benefits of a smoothie feast. 8 weeks is a long time for most people. If you are anaemic or pregnant please consult your doctor before you try this. I can not be held responsible for any medical condition or disorder that you may have or acquire, so please, take care of yourself.
