day three of misery {green smoothie week}

A little delayed on creative projects, so instead I give you my current misery: a week of green smoothies. By week I actually mean 5 full days and I'm not sure I'll make it. Hunger is SO debilitating for me! At this point (day 3—supposedly the worst day), I can't remember why I am doing this or for that matter why anyone does this. Morning aren't bad but afternoon and evenings I am a complete wreck.

A few resources I've found helpful:
5 Day Green Smoothie Challenge (for breakfast) by A Beautiful Mess
With Style & Grace (my favorite juicer/health nerd, including this pumpkin smoothie)

Any of you tried the craziness of quasi-fasting? Any other tips. Perhaps it's easier if you don't work from home—where the kitchen is taunting you 24/7?

I made a bunch of green smoothies that I froze ahead of time with the idea that I would have one for every meal as well. Turns out I am a complete beast in the afternoon without a solid meal. I figure if I have one for a snack instead of cookies or something its still a win. Good luck on your week :)

Thanks for sharing...going to give it a try. Can't do the fasting but will be a healthy way to start the day or to have as a snack!
