green smoothies

i have mentioned before in past posts that i recently changed my lifestyle to a more active lifestyle so i can be fit. I really agree with the phrase "when you feel good, you look good" So because of this change in lifestyle it meant changing other things as well:
1. I have not been wearing makeup as much which has allowed my skin to breathe and look healthier. Now i have outgrown the NEED to always be wearing makeup and am now more comfortable in my own skin.
2. attire... may actually not be a good thing actually.... im pretty much always in sweats and live in my gym wear.... i am still lazy in that sense i guess where i just dont want to change clothes. ahahhaa.
3. sleeping schedule.   When your my active your body retires earlier. For example if i usually get tired around 11pm, i will be tired at 9pm. BUT i wake up earlier and have no problem waking up....where as before i would struggle and fight with myself to get up out of bed and get the day started!!
4. I noticed i am not as lazy as before. Even with little things like instead of always asking my husband or Tara to grab something for me i will just do it myself. 
5. Food. I feel like i am going through all this change and transitioning that i need to do something about what i put into my body as well. So i try to feed good things to my body like whole foods and fruits and etc. 
One of the things i added to my eating schedules are smoothies. as a snack or as a meal i have to have one at  least once every 2 days if not everyday. I feel like i dont like to sit there and eat vegetables and fruits so why not BLEND them and take it on the go with me?!!! GENIUSSSS!!!!!!
