My super-filling smoothie that melts the pounds off

   I was very enthusiastic about eating a giant salad every day until I've been as short on time as I have been lately. Toddlers aren't very patient. Oh, and the sky is blue. :) 
A lot of people probably don't have the time it takes to make a salad as big as the one Dr. Fuhrman suggests you to eat, plus taking the time to eat the whole thing. 

He says that it's good to use a beach towel for the amount of greens you have to wash...

So this has caused me to find another way to get a lot of leafy greens in. 
My solution is what Dr. Fuhrman refers to as "blended salads". 

  I understand that it may not sound very appetizing to someone who has never tried it.

  But when you add as much fruit to it as I do, you don't even know you are drinking mostly greens. Nor is there anything else as filling to me. 

This smoothie for lunch will cause you to see the pounds just melt off you.

I come home from school and fill up the blender with all my usual fruits, nuts and veggie, blend it, drink it and I am beyond full. I could have a cheese burger placed in front of me after having this smoothie and I would not be tempted by it what so ever. That full.

It's not even like I am on some crazy crash diet that is depriving me of the nutrients my body requires. In this smoothie I am getting tons of Vitamin A, C, K, calcium, iron, protein, antioxidants, fiber and so many more. It's basically all the things your body and mind need the most of.

Ingredients to my super filling, nutritional power-house, yummy smoothie:

• 1 date
• 1/2 cup frozen or fresh blueberries
• 1/2 cup frozen or fresh strawberries
• handful of nut of choice (I usually use almonds, walnuts or pecans)
• 1/2 cup of frozen cherries or raspberries
• 1 orange (optional)
• Half a lemon
• 5 or 6 large kale leaves (sometimes I will even use about half a head)
• 1/2 cup pomegranate juice
• 1/2 cup vanilla soy milk
• 1/4 cup lime juice (or half lime juice/half water, just to help liquify the smoothie)

    Honestly, feel free to play around with any of these ingredients. I switch them up really often to keep it from getting monotonous. I get bored of eating (or drinking) the same thing for lunch every day very quickly. Somedays I use frozen pineapple instead of the cherries or somedays I use more kale or use spinach instead of kale. Switching it up is also good for you in general, giving your body different nutrients every day.
