I admit I don't eat enough vegetables and/or fruit. I just don't have time between work and life in general to sit down and eat 2 salad bowls of greens.
Here's my solution. Make green smoothies. I could drink 3-6 of these a day if I had the time.
1/2 cup frozen spinach
1 ripe banana
1/2 to 1 cup of almond milk (depends if you like it thick or watery)
Blend blend blend and drink.
