Hi Jen,

Here is a copy of Tracey Mallett's food log - I think I'm going to start using it - on Friday, LOL! I don't want to log Thanksgiving! However, I will say, other than the bourbon pumpkin cheesecake, our Thanksgiving is going to be relatively healthy - butternut squash soup (very low fat - just a little bit of olive oil to saute the onions - I also add ginger and shredded pear for sweetness), cranberries, steamed green beans (no casserole!), roasted brussels sprouts (this is the BEST and ONLY way I can eat a Brussels Sprout - they are delicious this way!), stuffing (not great, but I am not a huge stuffing person so I won't have a lot), mashed potatoes (again, not great, but I'll keep the portion down and since we make it homemade there is control on how much butter and milk gets added) and roast turkey. We may also have a green salad. So, it won't be "bad" but probably too large on the portions.

Anyway, I am going to start using Tracey's log on Friday. I took one of those on-line health quizes jsut now and realized I need to focus in on getting those veggies in to my diet on a DAILY REGULAR basis. It is the # 1 thing I can do to reduce my risk factors of multiple illnesses. I actually LIKE veggies, so it shouldn't be a problem. Just have to get some new habits going. Like, for instance, I'm going to eat a salad every day - to get the green leafy veggies in. A salad I like that someone posted on this last a long time ago used broccoli slaw - some dried cranberries and some slivered almonds or walnuts - it was really good! The dressings that come in a spray bottle are great for portion control on the most fattenig parts of eating a salad. I do much better with salads and raw veggies in the summer. I also will have to whip up a big pot of veggie soups.

Ok - here's the link and I also attached a copy!

That sounds great !!  What kind of fruit do you put in with it, and do you add anything else, or just the greens???  And how much?  TIA!DarcyOn Wed, Nov 25, 2009 at 11:53 AM, A. M. <plantpowered@...> wrote:

 

The leafy greens! I swear by them. I'm sure this is the reason that I've not missed a day of work in years, but I used to catch colds all the time before that. Veggies fend off all kinds of illnesses and they really make your immune system robust. Almost every single day, I put 2-3 cups of greens in the blender along with 2 pieces of fruit and some water.  I have a Vitamix, so it makes it really super smooth very fast. I vary the types of greens and the fruit. Frozen berries are lovely. Bananas and apples are great in there too.

I put it in a big stainless steel bottle and take it with me. I have some after my workouts, and then I keep it at my desk so I can sip it when I start to get hungry. Now that I'm riding again, I have some before I get to my desk at work. It keeps my blood sugar nice and even, so that I'm hungry, but not starving at the next meal. 

It's a really strong flavor, especially if I put kale or mustard greens in it, but I've really grown to love the flavors because this concoction makes me feel fierce.  On top of that, I also have veggies with my meals. 

When I was depressed after I quit my job, I had quit doing this, and wouldn't you know, I started to come down with a cold. I immediately started using this again, and the cold went away. I swear by it.

My favorite smoothie combo is a banana and some berries, or a banana and an apple. I put lots of water in there. The greens are about 2 or 3 cups. My favorite greens for this are chard, romaine, and kale, but I'll sometimes use mustard greens if I'm feeling fired up. I go to Trader Joe's and stock up on frozen berries, frozen pineapple, mango, strawberries, or whatever they've got going on. I prefer fresh fruit, but the frozen fruit is a back up. It also makes the smoothie nice and frosty.

When I worked at the hospice, employees were sick all the time. ALL the time. I've never worked with a more unhealthy bunch. Somebody always had the flu, or bronchitis, pneumonia, or a head colds. I never once caught any of it even though I worked in close contact with all those germy folks. At my prior stint at Title Nine, I never caught anything in the 3 years that I worked there. I had food poisoning from a restaurant once. They used to laugh at my smoothies! I had to buy a metal bottle because they thought they looked so green and gross. Mix berries and greens and you get a very bizarre color -- but it's the elixir for good health!

If you're not used to all that fiber, start with different proportions, and smaller portions. I've been doing this for a long time, and my body craves large doses of fiber and plant-y goodness. My sister has stomach problems and can't do this. She wants to, but her body says no. She has to cook her veggies, and she has to be very particular about her choices. I can eat any veggie, which is good because I'm vegan.

Hi Judy,I mainly like chard, kale, and romaine, but sometimes trry other things. I usually use bananas, or apples, berries, but also throw in other seasonal fruit whenever it's available. I keep frozen fruit and greens on hand also.

Oh, I forgot to mention spinach and collards. I use those too. I love collards. If I run out of fresh greens, I'll use whatever frozen greens I might have, and I sometimes use spinach -- not the kind that comes in a block, though. I don't want to kill my blender. I think I've seen frozen collards, but now I'm not sure.

Today's smoothie contained a banana, fresh organic Lacinato kale (about 2 cups if you smooshed it, and an apple. It was very bright green. I just had the rest of it with my lunch.

I put it in a big stainless steel bottle and take it with me. I have some after my workouts, and then I keep it at my desk so I can sip it when I start to get hungry. Now that I'm riding again, I have some before I get to my desk at work. It keeps my blood sugar nice and even, so that I'm hungry, but not starving at the next meal.

It's a really strong flavor, especially if I put kale or mustard greens in it, but I've really grown to love the flavors because this concoction makes me feel fierce. On top of that, I also have veggies with my meals.

When I was depressed after I quit my job, I had quit doing this, and wouldn't you know, I started to come down with a cold. I immediately started using this again, and the cold went away. I swear by it.

Hi Jen,

Here is a copy of Tracey Mallett's food log - I think I'm going to start using it - on Friday, LOL! I don't want to log Thanksgiving! However, I will say, other than the bourbon pumpkin cheesecake, our Thanksgiving is going to be relatively healthy - butternut squash soup (very low fat - just a little bit of olive oil to saute the onions - I also add ginger and shredded pear for sweetness), cranberries, steamed green beans (no casserole!), roasted brussels sprouts (this is the BEST and ONLY way I can eat a Brussels Sprout - they are delicious this way!), stuffing (not great, but I am not a huge stuffing person so I won't have a lot), mashed potatoes (again, not great, but I'll keep the portion down and since we make it homemade there is control on how much butter and milk gets added) and roast turkey. We may also have a green salad. So, it won't be "bad" but probably too large on the portions.

Anyway, I am going to start using Tracey's log on Friday. I took one of those on-line health quizes jsut now and realized I need to focus in on getting those veggies in to my diet on a DAILY REGULAR basis. It is the # 1 thing I can do to reduce my risk factors of multiple illnesses. I actually LIKE veggies, so it shouldn't be a problem. Just have to get some new habits going. Like, for instance, I'm going to eat a salad every day - to get the green leafy veggies in. A salad I like that someone posted on this last a long time ago used broccoli slaw - some dried cranberries and some slivered almonds or walnuts - it was really good! The dressings that come in a spray bottle are great for portion control on the most fattenig parts of eating a salad. I do much better with salads and raw veggies in the summer. I also will have to whip up a big pot of veggie soups.

Ok - here's the link and I also attached a copy!

I started making these with a really old, low end blender. You'll want to use enough water to make it go. If you think your blender might stall, use something with tender leaves, like romaine or baby spinach, or take those thicker veins out of things like collards and kale. You can grab the kale by the stem and kind of strip the leafy part off of it. If the blender stalls, use more water. It's trial and error. This is how I ended up upgrading to the Vitamix. I was making these things all the time, and this beast of a blender lets you throw in the stems and all.

Good luck with the traffic!!! On Wed, Nov 25, 2009 at 2:40 PM, Judy S <k9sports4gsps@...> wrote:

Oh, I forgot to mention spinach and collards. I use those too. I love collards. If I run out of fresh greens, I'll use whatever frozen greens I might have, and I sometimes use spinach -- not the kind that comes in a block, though. I don't want to kill my blender. I think I've seen frozen collards, but now I'm not sure.

Today's smoothie contained a banana, fresh organic Lacinato kale (about 2 cups if you smooshed it, and an apple. It was very bright green. I just had the rest of it with my lunch.

frozen fruit or also frozen greens? I use frozen fruit a lot but haven't seen frozen greens (except spinach and broccoli).

That sounds great !!  What kind of fruit do you put in with it, and do you add anything else, or just the greens???  And how much?  TIA!Darcy

The leafy greens! I swear by them. I'm sure this is the reason that I've not missed a day of work in years, but I used to catch colds all the time before that.
