I checked out some foods that I knew would probably be OK and I&#8217;ve also been looking at the guide I got on the subject from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.prevention.com\/\">Prevention Magazine<\/a>.  One of the things that I&#8217;ve worked on leading up to today is breakfast.  I&#8217;m allergic to eggs so a Denver omelet is out, not to mention all the peppers would irritate my stomach more than it already is.  Then I realized that there was an easy choice: a smoothie.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, I got some frozen smoothie mix from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.target.com\">Target<\/a> that had strawberries, bananas, and a dried yogurt packet in it.  I was pretty happy with those results so I started experimenting on my own.  After a few trials and errors as well as my mother-in-law pointing out that the blender has a smoothie setting, I found something that works for the most part.  I use:<\/p>\n<p>1 cup whole milk<br \/>\n1\/2 cup coconut-flavored Greek yogurt (I used <a href=\"http:\/\/www.chobani.com\">Chobani<\/a>.)<br \/>\na handful of spinach<br \/>\na handful or two of frozen fruit.<\/p>\n<p>Layer it in the blender with the milk at the bottom, then the Greek yogurt, then the spinach, then the fruit.  Blend until all is liquid.  It makes a little more than a glass but I have no problem drinking the excess as well!<\/p>\n<p>Kendra of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.catholicallyear.com\">Catholic All Year<\/a> has <a href=\"http:\/\/www.catholicallyear.com\/2015\/05\/kids-cook-for-themselves-universal.html\">a universal smoothie recipe<\/a> that works, especially when making them for a family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So I actually started this whole experiment a few days early so I could ease into it and have some very basic meal planning done before I started everything in full today.
