Clean Eating Green Lemon Pineapple Smoothie Recipe

I swiped this clean eating green lemon pineapple smoothie recipe.

True story.

I was shopping at Costco and had gone in for Pull-Ups only. But on my way to the register, I got sidetracked by the Vitamix girl.

Clean Eating Green Lemon Pineapple Smoothie

You see, whenever Vitamix (a high powered blender) comes to Costco, it’s physically impossible for me to just walk by without stopping for a delicious sample, and Mini Chef knows that that is one of the few sample tables mom will always stop at. So it didn’t take much pleading from him to get me to come to a screeching halt directly in front of this woman.

Now, as I’ve mentioned before on my lil’ ol’ blog here, I don’t share food very well. In fact, I’ll wrestle somebody twice my size before I’ll share my food with them. Yes, my family lovingly refers to me as “Joey” (5 points if you get the reference). So when a woman cut in front of me at the Vitamix table, I can tell you that I was not a very happy camper. In fact, I spent the entire demo plotting how I would slip my hand in under her arm and swipe the first sample if she didn’t make room for me.

Lucky for her, the demo lady was holding the tray up while she filled it, so I couldn’t just reach in and grab. And by the time she set the tray down, there was plenty for everyone. Crisis averted.

But seeing as how I had been plotting instead of paying attention, I really didn’t have much of an idea what I was about to sample. So when I took my first swig, my eyeballs just about popped out of my head.

THIS. WAS. SO. GOOD.

So I made the Vitamix lady recite her recipe for me, and it turns out that this was her own personal twist on a recipe from the Vitamix cookbook (pg 35).

So as you can see, I’m willing to not only swipe food samples, but apparently I’ve stooped to swiping recipes as well. It’s an all-time low for me. But I can honestly say that in this particular case, I’ll be smiling all the way to my blender.

CLEAN EATING GREEN LEMON PINEAPPLE SMOOTHIE RECIPE:

Clean Eating Green Lemon Pineapple Smoothie

NOTE: This was done in a Vitamix blender. If you have a common household blender, I don’t recommend this recipe. You definitely need something high-powered for this.

  • 3/4 inch slice lemon ((peel and seeds included))
  • 1/2 large orange ((peeled))
  • 3 cups raw spinach ((packed when measuring))
  • 1 cup baby kale ((packed when measuring))
  • 1/4 medium whole pineapple ((peeled, core left on))
  • ice ((to finish filling up the blender))
  • water (as needed for blending)

  1. Pour the melted grape concentrate into the blender first.

  2. Then add all other ingredients with the ice on the top and blend until smooth. Add water as needed to blend smoothly.

  3. Storage: This will keep for up to 3 days in the fridge. Simply shake or stir before drinking.

Post-Workout Coffee Protein Shake

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

If you’re looking for a one-stop shop to organize your digital life, check out Evernote! Here’s my Evernote review and all the great features you can use to make your thoughts, notes, and files easy to find, sort, and save.  This post is sponsored by Evernote .  Raise your hand if your digital life feels cluttered. If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
