I have been struggling with meal prep for myself. I am cooking for the men, but when it comes to me I have been failing. I love vegetables (not so much fruit) and the last 9 weeks I just haven't had any interest in eating, prepping the foods I love. I buy them, and have been preserving them, just not eating them.
So, I decided to try Daily Harvest Smoothies. I am doing it mainly to learn the right combinations, and to get myself back into eating things that taste good and are good for me. I never had a smoothie before now. I thought having smoothies would help me get the nutrition without disturbing my digestive tract to much.
I tried my first smoothie today. Mint and Cacao. It contains Banana, Spinach, Cacao, Cashew, Chlorella (a powdered algae) and peppermint. I used unsweetened Almond Milk. I used our Nutri Bullet that has been sitting in a cupboard.

It was DELICIOUS! It looked exactly like the photo on their website. It tasted just like a mint chocolate shake.
