My first homemade green smoothie

So Natural Nigerian always talks about eating healthy on her blog amongst other things. I love anything relating to healthy living but I must confess I am not completely there. I still drink coca cola on &off despite my resolution to stop and I don’t drink as much water as I should. Anyway, NN posted a liquidised veg and fruit recipe on her blog which I decided to try out. To be honest the idea of drinking vegetable didn’t sound appealing to me but another part of me was curious and intrigued.

So I got my ingredients- some green grapes, a green apple and spinach.

I washed and threw all into my dedicated blender for smoothies (which I have only made once, actually my sister did when she was visiting from the states a few years ago, SMH for myself).

I added a little water and blended the mix- looked like green gooey. lol!

  

I poured into my cup. (Sorry not so clear photos)

At this point I confess I was scared to taste the gooey mix… but then I took the first sip… OMG.. It was de-li-cious!!! I kid you not… ! I took the second sip- yummmm. Princess was already asking for some so I gave her in a mug. She was gulping it, saying " hmm yummy" lol. The apple and the grapes downplayed the taste of the spinach which totally helped. My only issue was I didn’t like the feel of the apple skin in my mouth so decided to sieve the drink!

Much better!!!  The quantity reduced drastically and I probably lost some nutrients doing this but oh well... I gulped my tasty drink down. NN has a vitamix so her fruits including skin blend smoothly, lucky her! Next time I think I would just peel my apple. I was going to make more the next day but um Baale and Princess have chopped my grapes finish. So back to the market to get some more grapes.

This drink is full of nutrients (according to NN- "antioxidants, chlorophyll, phytonutrients, fibre, Vitamins A, C, K, E, B1, B6, Manganese, potassium and much more!") and it is lip-smacking, what more do you need? Seriously, you guys should try it out; your lives will never remain the same again :)

How Time Flies

We are in August already. Geez! Where is 2011 running to?? So much to be done, isn't it?!

The year so far has been eventful, a lot of reasons to rejoice and a few challenges here and there but through it all I know my God is my sustainer of all times. This has kept me going.

I don't really have an update but just to say the soulsistas blog has been resurrected yet again. Writefreak and I have gotten so busy with stuff that it is a struggle to update our own blogs. Hpwever we intend to work on the soulsistas blog as we feel we have a word in season for our single sistas out there. Please bear with us as we put our acts together. We are passionate about women and helping them identify their selfworth. Our partners (or furture partners) are meant to compliment us not complete us. (just thot I'll chip that in)

Please go on over and see the latest post we have for you. Please share your thoughts with us in the comments section. Also if you have any questions or topics you want us to address, just let us know via email thesoulsistas@googlemail.com

God bless y'all
