Smoothie With Apple Banana and Spinach

Food is a big part of my life - I studied it, I teach it and, of course, I eat it (sometimes way too much of it). So consider this a weekly share of a salad (or soup or ... something healthy) that I'm loving at the moment - plus the book that currently has me hostage.

Green Smoothie With Apple Banana and Spinach {Drinking} and Fifty Shades of Grey {Audiobook Listening}

Consuming: My typical green smoothie made with a handful of spinach, 1 apple, 1 banana (previously frozen without the skin), water (amount depends on how thick you want the smoothie) & a splash of lemon juice. Delish!!! Recipe - add all the ingredients to a blender (cutting the frozen banana and apple into chunks first), and ... blend.

Smoothie With Apple Banana and Spinach

Current Audiobook: Fifty Shades of Grey, E.L. James (Narrated by Becca Battoe). Yes - I've succumbed to the hype - won't be the first or the last time. So far, for me, hmmm ... it started out promising, but I'm becoming a bit bored & getting what people say about the repetitive phrases & 1-dimensional characters.

Thinking: Not sure what I'll listen to next but it'll be something written in 2012 - maybe Why We Broke Up, Daniel Handler (Narrator: Khristine Hvam).

Your smoothie looks divine. Do you think you will finish listening to your audio?

@bookbelle - I'll finish it - once I get this far, no matter how bad it gets, I try to finish it.

I just finished my green smoothie (mango, banana, strawberry, spinach, and soy milk). Very delish. I haven't read Fifty Shades yet, but I think I have decided I will. I don't think I could do a listen, will just read the print. I have heard about the repetitiveness of it, but that the second and third books make it worth it.

I think listening to 50 Shades of Grey would be better than reading it ... at least then if it sucks, I'll have "read" it when I normally wouldn't be reading.

Smoothie looks yummy!

I've never tried a smoothie with spinach before but that one does look delicious. And it's two fruit and one veggie serves?

Good thing I have a new blender.

That looks like my favorite Green Machine. Yummy! And I was not thrilled with Fifty. Anna is tooo much like Bella for me. LOL!

Such an easy, but delicious way to enjoy your fruit and veggies!

I'm on the 2nd book of the Fifty Shades series...and I do agree that it does get a little old after awhile. I'm not going to ruin it for you, but the 2nd book plays out much like the first with how the characters are. It does have some "almost wow" moments, but fizzes out just as fast. But, I feel the need to finish out the series and drag myself through the 3rd book.

Thanks for linking up to our first HVF!

That smoothie sounds lovely. I'll have to try that combination although I do add oats to all my smoothies to turn them into Green Thickies and keep me going until lunch time.
Your photos are gorgeous.
For some reason I can only get into reading how to books where I'm learning something, maybe I don't relax enough!
