@Mrs. Pen: have you posted your smoothie recipe that you use now? A non-beginner version with less fruit and more veggies?

@MrsH: you know I totally wing it now depending on veggies I keep on hand! I usually use water, coconut water, coconut or almond milk as the base, one banana and one other fruit like blueberries and 1-2 cups of greens. I like to add flax or chia seeds if I have them and kefir for probiotics.

@MrsH: oh yes carrots are delicious in smoothies! So are avocados. But not celery haha! I haven't tried broccoli yet but I've heard it's decent.

I love juicing and then using fresh juice in the smoothie too

When I hit my rock bottom with weight gain, I was totally ready to change. I started with replacing one meal with a healthier one - I had a salad for lunch every day. That was a small, easy step to take, that didn't feel overwhelming or scary. Then I changed another meal, then the third one. I did it all in small steps, so it wasn't this huge scary change.
