I have been on the lookout for fruit free smoothies on my quest to naturally resolve my digestive issues and I found one! Check this one out! And it tastes good. No, its not sweet, but it does have a creamy pleasant taste and I had no issues swallowing the whole glass! So many green smoothie attempts have ended in me gagging since I have a very strong gag reflex, which doesn't help when I am trying so hard to be healthful! But the journey to a healthier way of eating, is all about finding healthy and TASTY ways to build a healthful diet that you can sustain and this recipe accomplishes both! There is a big difference between being "on a diet" and "eating a diet". When a person goes "on a diet" it is always short lived and usually treated like a punishment. What makes a life long difference is to just eat a healthy diet, all the time!

I just discovered this website where you can type in your recipe and voila! Out comes the nutrition information! When eating Paleo, food doesn't often come with nutrition labels, so its hard to know exactly what the difference is between pure natural whole foods and other commercially packaged foods! But WOW! Take a look at this baby! What a whopper of a nutrition label! (I had to add the extended version too because I was so excited!)
And apparently romaine lettuce is a source of protein, who knew? Check out the low down on romaine and learn 10 Surprising Nutrition Facts About Romaine Lettuce!
