Due to eating vegetarian I'm really trying to add more spinach into my diet to get enough iron. So, a big box of baby spinach happened to find its way into my shopping bag the other day and what's a better use for spinach than a smoothie?!
Usually when I cook or do anything in the kitchen I don't use recipes, I just wing it. And usually it works! For these smoothies I used organic soy milk (trying to consume less dairy) and water (ice cubes would have been my first choice but we were all out).
For 1 pitcher of the Kick-Ass Green Smoothie
1 big handful of organic baby spinach
1 banana
1/2 lemon
ginger
1 Tbs chia seeds
1 cup organic soy milk
1 cup water
This smoothie will really give you the kick you need in the morning!
On to other subjects, another thing I love about living in a new city is finding new, awesome places to shop! And let me tell you, I found THE place for great bargains in Charlottenburg. TK Maxx, an outlet for women's, men's and children's clothing as well as home decór, accessories... and the list goes on. It reminded me a little bit of Century 21 in New York.
I just loooove workout clothes and made some pretty great discoveries! And they were 60% off the original price!
Just a little something to help me prepare for the 10K I signed up for later this spring (eeek!). I really need to start training soon... I know, I know, it's only 10km but I haven't been running for a while. And I might be a little bit of a perfectionist (aaand a little bit competitive) so when I commit to something like this, I really want to do my best.
So, if you are hunting for great bargains make sure to swing by TK Maxx!
