There are those times when you can use some extra support and I give you a piece about the green smoothie. The motto this week was anyway ‘ go with the flow ‘. I did some surfing on the net and I saw and read more and more that there are now many people who think that gluten can cause a lot of physical problems. So even if you do not immediately get sick, as with me, it seems healthier to avoid gluten as much as possible. In America there are already a lot of people that believe this and adjusted their lifestyle to it. I also see it in my posts on www.moments4moods.com when I publish something about glutenfree I immediately get American reactions to that . For me it was just a need to do so because I get sick. The last days are still some pieces of the puzzle regarding my health falling at  place. Unfortunately, that does not mean that everything is resolved. One limitation often provides yet another on and I currently bale of properly. I searched a little further and discovered many videos on you tube about vegetable smoothies. I do believe that it is super healthy but to be very honest really is that green color to me. Normally I assiociate green things with rotten food, also mad because I really do love fresh vegetables and I love salads. This proves to me the fact of recent research shows that mainly eating is something psychological. After several days of mental preparation, I tried it anyway … To get used to the taste, it is especially good to add fruit so you can get better used to it that way. It is promised that if you drink it for a while each day your skin and hair are beautiful but especially that waste is disposed of causing all sorts of processes in your body can function better and you will feel fitter.  And last but not least you can keep your weight stable . I myself do not make promises because I do not know if I even a week can maintain, but I have decided to make a start. Yesterday I have a handful of spinach leaves, half a cucumber with peel , an unpeeled apple, a sweet pear and a dash of orange juice thrown in the blender to make juice out of it. I started with the spinach leaves, cracked in the blender and to fill it with water until they were just covered, ground into juice, the color is really beautiful to see . The rest then added into pieces and squeezed into juice, if you find it too thick you can add water to desired thickness. To make all the more festive I poured the juice in a beautiful green glass before I dared to taste. I honestly thought it was very tasty. Yet only a week to experiment with different vegetables and see what it brings. When my children came home from school they wanted to taste, they wanted to know what was in it but I challenged them to find out what was inside through tasting. They liked it ! ! haha then their faces when I told them that there is spinach in it …
