Red Applesauce?

Like I mentioned before I've been working very hard to get my reds in everyday. And I feel it when I don't. Today I woke up early-ate a normal breakfast of eggs and cheese in a whole wheat tortilla and had my usual bit of fruit on the side. After my trip to the farmer's market, couple loads of laundry and a little work I decided its now or never for my reds. I looked in the fridge and then the cupboard and found applesauce!!!

So-I thought why not add the Miracle Reds to my applesauce. So I did and it was Berry delicious. I recommend it to anyone!! also seems like a perfect way to get kids to try it too!

Marathon

So, as some of you may know I am training for the marathon.

This weekend was my short 9-miler recovery run. I hadn't trained in 3 weeks and was really nervous. I did not get tired at all and the only thing that bothered me was my ankles. I didn't even run out of energy. It was a miracle! I thought what was so different about this past week and I realized it was my greens and reds! I not only hydrated myself more than ever this week but got so many servings of fruits and veggies!

I will for sure continue taking them now that I can truly see the effects! AWESOME!!!!

In the Red

ok-I have finished my canister of Greens and now I am onto Reds. Yes, they do taste good. Much fruitier than the greens. I did the same mix of water and apple juice, but they do tend to be very gritty at the bottom :(

I think tomorrow-or tonight I will sprinkle the reds on my cottage cheese. Instant fruity cottage cheese! sounds fun to me.

Is it that simple?

OK-I'll be honest here. I haven't taken my greens for a few days. And I have felt so tired, lethargic and just plain unproductive. I spoke to Karen on the phone and she says's "are you taking your green?" I thought to myself-well actually I haven't been. It's not that I don't like the taste, I have to say it's the process of making them then drinking them. I would much rather eat a solid substance, rather thank drink something. I'm like that with getting my calories in-not that I have a problem getting enough calories in, but I would much rather have to chew something than drink it.

So-before I head out today I will make my greens and get back on it.
This is just showing me that they really do work! good job greens!!!

Great Smoothie!

I just made a GREAT miracle reds smoothie.

I call it...

Mixed Berries Miracle Madness

1 cup of frozen berries
I cup of apple juice
6 oz. of frozen vanilla yogurt
4 cubes of ice
1 scoop of miracle reds

YUMMY!

But beware...it leaves seeds in your teeth (if you bring it to school or anywhere in public, have a mirror in the other hand!)

When I first started using Macro greens more than a week ago I felt like I was getting sick. I had symptoms that a cold was coming, such as a earache and sore throat, but I did not get sick. My body got the nutrients and warded off a stubborn cold.
This morning I mixed miracle reds into my blueberry instant oatmeal. I cooked the oatmeal and waited for it to cool off a bit before mixing in the powder. This is a great way for me to get my full daily serving of fruits. I feel energized and ready for this rainy day.

Recipes!

here are two macro greens/miracle redds recipes i have come up with!
Miracle Reds breakfast smoothie:

1 banana
1 orange
