Morning Pick Me Up

Unfortunately I’m still battling the neverending flu but I’m trying to hang in there. How is everyone doing on the 30 Day Challenge? I haven’t been able to do it more than twice in the last week and a half so I’m feeling pretty bad about that but what can you do? I wanted to share a recipe with you however that I found to be energizing and filling. I love smoothies because I hate making breakfast so this is a good way to get something in my stomach with little effort. I just used things I had on hand and both my son and I loved it.

You can adjust the ingredients to your liking but I used 1/4 cup of cantaloupe, 1/4 cup of honeydew melon, handful of baby spinach leaves, juice from one lime and about three ice cubes. We’ve been keeping a bog container of cubed melon in the refrigerator lately because the bug loves it and it’s a great snack. The spinach adds great nutrients but you can’t even taste it. Throw it all in the blender and blend until it’s smooth and creamy.

This would also make a really delicious and refreshing post-workout refresher. Or even a pre-workout energizer. What are some of your favorite healthy, weight loss smoothie concoctions?
