Going Green with Fibromyalgia
I must admit that photos like this didn't look all too appetizing to me a decade ago.
But then again, no food or drink that wasn't served in in 5 minutes or less was appetizing to me back then. Looking back, I often wonder what I was ever thinking when I THOUGHT I was eating healthy.
Ten years later, with a lot of gusto to try new things, and a LOT of information backing my choices up, I have decided to go green. My food choices are now not only organic for the environment, but are as pure as I can get for myself too.
I started a Green Goddess regimen a couple of weeks ago out of desperation. I was constantly fatigued and had absolutely no energy left by noon. I couldn't live this way any longer and I had to try and do something to change it.
After a Dr. Oz episode and a lot of research, I decided to take the green plunge. I took baby steps at first. I researched the perfect blender for my science projects and finally decided on the Nutribullet. I went for that because it not only mixes great drinks, it can also mill rice, nuts, and coffee-- something else I'm interested in for my gluten intolerance.
The Nutribullet sat in our kitchen for about a week before I got the gumption to try it. I was nervous with it and didn't know if I could create any kind of concoction that would help me. But I then quickly relieved my fears by reading the recipe book it came with. Once I saw how easy it was, my creative side took over.
And I must admit, I'm glad my creative side did! I'm feeling MUCH better! I have more energy, less pain, AND I'm sleeping better at night. Going Green was worth it!
Recipe One:
1 Tablespoon Pineapple
1 Pear, diced
1 Perisan (or mini) Cucumber, sliced
1 Stalk of Celery, dice
4 Green Seedless Grapes
1 Kiwi, sliced
1/2 Cup of Spinach
1 Tablespoon of Almond Meal
1 Tablespoon of Chia Seeds
Filtered Water
Method:
Add all of your ingredients except your water. Fill the water up to the max line. Attach your blender attachment and blend until smooth.
For a little kick, Recipe Two:
2 Tablespoons Pineapple
1 Pear, diced
1 Kiwi, sliced
1 Perisan (or mini) Cucumber, sliced
1/2 Cup Kale
6 Pistachios
1 Tablespoon Chia Seeds
1/8 Teaspoon of Paprika
Filtered Water
Method:
Add all of your ingredients except your water. Fill the water up to the max line. Attach your blender attachment and blend until smooth.
Stay fabulous!
Love and friendship,
Kimberley
