Today’s smoothie was AWESOME! Here is what I put in it today:

1/2 cup carrot juice
1/2 cup blood orange juice
handful of fresh baby spinach
handful of frozen blueberries
5 strawberries
1 tablespoon chia seeds

Mixed together in a blender and that’s it.

I’ve never had blood orange juice before, but it was on sale at the store and cheaper than regular orange juice – and it’s delicious!!

*******

For my dinner, I actually made everything separately and then assembled this so everyone could make what they wanted.

3 boneless, skinless chicken breast
2 cups cooked pearl barley
feta cheese
salt and pepper to taste
juice of 1 lemon – lemon zest
fresh spinach
1 tablespoon olive oil
pine nuts.

So for my bowl, I put in 1 cup pearl barley, some chicken, chopped fresh spinach, a drizzle of olive oil, squeeze of lemon, a little lemon zest, few tablespoons feta cheese and a tablespoon of pine nuts.
