Since I started running and watching what I eat about 7 weeks ago, I have been making a fruit & veggie smoothie just about every day. I have a Vitamix blender that I use that does a great job, no small bits of anything left after I blend it.

Here is what I put in today’s breakfast/mid morning snack;

• Dole - Frozen Blueberries, 0.5 cup
• Michigan Apples - 1 Large Fuji Apple 
• Carrot - Large - Raw***, 1 large
• Pineapple - Raw, all varieties, 1 cup, diced 
• Spinach - Raw, 1 cup
• Dannon - Light & Fit, Non Fat, Vanilla Yogurt, 4 oz
• Tropicana - Orange Juice, Some Pulp, 6 fl oz

This was calculated by MyFitness at 412 calories, which is not bad since this is breakfast and mid-morning snack for me. Very filling and introducing the fruit and vegetables has really made me feel better in several ways.  It’s an easy way to get vegetables and fruit that I wouldn’t normally eat.

This is not today’s smoothie, but a recent one.

This is the beginning of week 4 of the C25K program! It is going to get tougher from here on out, less walking, more running! That’s ok, I’m ready and willing! Decided to start day 1 tomorrow, going to give my knee and extra day of rest to see if I can get it feeling better. 

Starting out Monday right with a healthy fruit/veggie smoothie for breakfast. I want to see the scale 2 lbs less on Wednesday when I weigh in.

• Fuji Apple
• 3 Clementine oranges
• 1 stalk of celery (small)
• 1 large carrot
• 1/2 cup spinach
• 1/2 cup raspberry
• ice&water
