Last night I went to happy hour with a bunch of girlfriends. We had the best time. Five hours of non stop laughing. My issue with happy hour is that I'm a beer girl. I love my beer. And unfortunately for me, I've only been to one place that has gluten free beer. Last night was not that place. I know, I should just drink something else. But wine is not all that fun at happy hour and I don't drink mixed drinks so what do you think I did? Yup. Drank beer. I have had such a great week of absolutely zero gluten and was feeling really, really good. I knew I was being really dumb, but I did it anyway. This morning is not pretty.
In an effort to make myself feel a little better, I decided to whip up a green smoothie for breakfast. This one just may be my best yet! Look at that beautiful color! Yummmmmm......
In the Vitamix went 1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk, 1 date, 1 small banana, 2 big handfuls of spinach, 1 1/2 teaspoon flax seeds, 1/2 cucumber and a few ice cubes. It is so stinkin' good. I think the cucumber really helps smooth it all out. This was my first time using dates - I picked up a bag at the health food store yesterday. I'm currently searching for other ways to use dates. Any suggestions?
