Green Smoothie time!

In my bid to cut down my bingeing I've taken to having a green smoothie for breakfast anytime between 6.30 and 7.30 am and another around 10.00 am. And the result?
#1 - I haven't eaten my lunch by 10 o'clock!
#2 - I've reduced my chocolate craving
#3 - my other eating has become healthier
#4 - I've lost 3 lb!

I had tried green smoothies before after I went on a raw food course and I had forgotten how good they taste. I have kale or spinach as the main ingredient with any fruit that I have - clementines, apples, pineapple, strawberries - it's very much a mix and match affair and is brilliant for using leftover fruit and veg. Green smoothies aren't everyone's cup of tea but I love convenient food and this takes no longer than making toast and a hot drink. And it's certainly having an effect on my bloated stomach - it's going down; another great result. I'm going to keep this up until the end of July (if my stamina allows)...
