I started the day with a green smoothie or juice I should say! This one is my Green Apple Veggie Juice with extra almond milk. It was refreshing and quite filling.
Can you guess what this is? Yep, left over salad from Easter and it was goooodddd! Fennel, baby arugula blend, red onion, cucumber and shaved romano cheese with balsamic and olive oil! I just adapted this recipe a bit, Fresh Arugula Romano Salad. Delish!
I had to take my son to an orthodontist appointment so I made a coffee to go!
For dinner I made my family a frittata with left over ham and potatoes using this recipe, Cheesy Spinach Potato Frittata. I had this thick and creamy Green Protein Smoothie. If you've never had avocado in your smoothie you don't know what your missing! It's like a milkshake without the milk!
That was it! I surely wanted to eat some left over Fudgey Flourless Brownies and Mini Citrus Cheesecake Bites BUT I DID NOT!! Thank God! Because even though those are made without sugar, they are sweet and having that sweet treat would only make me want more. It's time to buckle back down into a habit of reducing the special treats for one day on the weekend and not making it an everyday thing.

Wow, avocado in a smoothie? I've put spinach in smoothies before and love that you can't taste it...is it like that with the avocado, too? It's a great idea. 🙂

Way to resist the temptation! That is sooo hard. And way to go w/ the smoothie for dinner vs the family meal. I need to do that more often too. But, my kids always loved my smoothies and they would want all of it.....lol! Be sure to let us know the results of your Dietbet. I really wanted to join, but glad I didn't cuz I just found I am preggo w/ #4 🙂 yay! But trying to eat very healthy...gonna be my most healthy pregnancy yet!

CONGRATS TO YOU on baby #4!!! How wonderful!! I think I will try to do it on the first of each month , just a smoothie day for all meals. To semi detox once a month I think is helpful. Dietbet was going well until I did all this cooking for Easter and well, not gonna make it I don't think.
