Oh No I've Been Making FAT SMOOTHIES!

Backing up on the Green Smoothie recipes that I have been making. My husband went over the calorie count for the ingredients I was adding. I told him what I put in and he told me the calorie count. It's been confirmed. I am making "Fat Smoothies" so if any of you want to bulk up just add these ingredients. I was wondering why I wasn't losing hardly any weight and now I know.

 
    Fat Green Smoothie

• 1 cup of Kale
• 1/4 grounded up peanuts
• 2 Large Strawberries
• 2 Large Bananas
• 3 sections Grapefruit
• 2 cored Apples w/skin on
• 1/2 Cup Blueberries
• 3 Cups of Silk Coconut Milk
• Calories for 4 servings- 1,085
• My weight- 185 lbs

So instead of mixing all of the above ingredients together I'm going to tone them down some leaving some of the ingredients out, basically getting more protein and less sugar into the smoothie.

But,But...Fat Smoothies Are So Good!

This reminds me of one of the Jerry Seinfeld episodes, Season 5, Episode 7 where they all thought they had found the perfect food aka soft yogurt that they serve couldn't figure out why they all were gaining weight. The yogurt was packed full of calories and they all had to go on a diet!

Let It Rain... I'm Making Smoothies! #FixThePlus *

If you are keeping up with my blog you will defiantly know that I love the rain! Right now it's pouring and I'm being soothed by the rain and winds magical noise. I keep telling myself that someday I will get a disk of rain noise complete with thunder and lightening.

I just finished making another batch of Smoothie Cycles and again out did myself<<grins proudly.

I'm adding to the ingredient's which I'm positive is spiking the calorie count but my little voice friend reminds me,"If you got run over by a bus tomorrow, what would be the use of saving calories"? I love my little voice friend.

So I will put out the recipe but the measurements can vary for when I make my Smoothie Pops its very much like a witch at her cauldron!
