Green Disaster

I was all hyped to start the green smoothie diet today, as a replacement for one meal a day. I'll say this right off the bat, my first try was a disaster. To be fair it wasn't the attack of the greens that caused the disaster, but mostly my fault. I was a little too optimistic and seemed to forget that I first off I'm the girl who eats take-out or anything that requires little to no cooking. Trying to get the green mix right was a fail on my part. I should have taken it easy and started with something less harsh. I used way too many greens and almost no fruit to balance it out. BIG mistake. I'm half way through the extra kale, celery, cucumber, ginger and a little bit of apple smoothie and I'm ready to drain it, I’m just not sure if it’ll actually go down the drain.
 
So take a page out of my book and add some fruits, go easy on the greens if your new, and add water.
