// LUNCH BREAK//

I have to confess that I am not very good about eating lunch.  I often find myself forgetting to eat or losing track of time and then it’s dinner.  I don’t keep a lot of food in the pantry because I don’t care for processed food (as in I love processed food but I try not to buy it at the grocery store) so there isn’t a lot of easy grab and go snacks unless I grab it from my fridge.  While struggling with food laziness I discovered that I can make a quick lunch that is healthy and filling.  Let me introduce you to one of my favorite EASY foods/drinks that makes for an easy lunch and you don’t even have to chew.

The Strawberry, Mango, Banana, Spinach, OJ smoothie is one of the easiest and most delicious smoothies in the land.  Other then possibly breaking a sweat while pealing the mango, the rest is pretty easy and already done for you.

Ingredients:

  • one sliced mango
  • a handful or two of frozen strawberries
  • one banana
  • one or two large handfuls of organic spinach (the more the better, you can’t taste it so keep stuffing more in)
  • add organic orange juice or water (for a healthier option) until the smoothie is blended to the consistence  you want.  I use a few cups of orange juice.

Directions:

  • add the ingredients from softest to hardest in a blender (spinach, banana, mango, strawberry)
  • add your liquid (orange juice or water)
  • blend until the spinach is pulverized
  • pour
  • enjoy

I often make more then I need and leave the pitcher in the fridge for later that day or for another day.  Smoothies can be fun to experiment with because you can add almost any fruit or vegetable you want to them.  If you have celery or kale or apples or lemons leftover from a recipe put them in your smoothie.  Play around with recipes and find out what your favorite combinations are.
