A Berry Green Smoothie

So part of having PCOS means that I am extra susceptible to weight gain, the inability to process insulin, and a serious craving for carbs (oh so that explains it!). I've been trying to lose weight and got thrown off with my parents moving, trying to have a baby, bronchitis, flu stuff. After my appointment yesterday I am back on the healthy kick for my sake and my future children's.

So for breakfast today I ate an egg white, bell pepper, ham, and fat-free cheese omelet. YUM. My omelet was accompanied by my first every Berry Green Smoothie, a new creation. Here's the (soft) recipe.

1/2 cup Almond Milk
1 cup Trader Joe's Green Plant Juice
1 1/2 cups Trader Joe's Frozen Berries (blue berries, strawberries, and raspberries)
1 large handful of spinach

Blend all ingredients together. Feel free to play around with the proportions. It was a greenish-maroon color (very appetizing) and delicious. It was the perfect sweetness and super healthy!

Snack today is celery and 1oz almond butter for a snack. Salad with grilled chicken for lunch. Cucumbers, carrots, and apples for munchies during the day, and blueberry greek yogurt with almonds for my afterschool snack.

Dinner will be weight watchers glazed salmon, roasted butternut squash (my friend Adri's blog, a great place for whole food healthy recipes), and salad.

Recipe for Salmon:

	2 Tbsp honey
	1 Tbsp fresh orange juice
	1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
