Jackpot at the grocery store. More and more selection of veggies and fruits. I scored on a cantoloupe. I just made a dinner green drink, nothing different than I'd do for my morning shake.

A bananna
1/4 cantoloupe
a cup of unsweetened vanilla almond milk
finished the bagged spinach
frozen berries
cherries
flax seed
about 6 ice cubes

It was good!

Now, I cleaned up the cherries and froze them, I bought some kale (its important to change your greens around, different vitamins and minerals) if your new to kale, be forewarned it has a very distinct taste, so go easy on it at first. You can also substitute the almond milk for yogurt (yogurt has a little more protein). I love using the tops of celery in these green smoothies. If you find these are too bland, and you're tempted to sweeten them, use pineapple.
Lots of fiber in pineapple.

Fiber is a wonderful way to loose weight, not to mention, its good for you. Fruit and veggie shakes are fiber enriched already, you can add granola for more fiber. I'd experiment. You may not like the grittiness of the granola. Just keep in mind, if you are choking down these drinks, you most likely won't stick with this, so make them the way you like them and then start adding other things, your body will love you for this.

When I bring my treasures in from the stroe, I wash all of it and prepare (relatively speaking) so when it's 5 a.m. and my body is screaming feed me, I'm not cutting and cleaning a cantoloupe (for example) the fifteen minutes of time spent ahead of time is well worth it.

Enjoy the rest of your evening.......drink up!

ETA: I've noticed when I treat my body well, it rewards me with good sleep (I have a lifetime history of sleep issues) and when the two are working correctly, my coping skills are amazing. (serious!)
