Spinach banana chia smoothie #Paleo #Whole30

Image
Spinach, banana, chia seeds, almond milk smoothie. I felt like having a green smoothie tonight and this was the result. I made it very thick and creamy and it hit the spot.  Used one Frozen cut up very ripe banana. I take the over ripe bananas, cut them up into individual sandwich baggies and freeze them. That way whenever I want a smoothie I just grab one Baggie = one banana. This time I used enough frozen cut leaf spinach to fill the nutribullet. If you do not like a strong spinach taste just use less. I'm used to the taste of veggies in my green smoothies so used a lot of the green stuff :-) The chia seeds went in next, a tablespoon's worth. Finally enough unsweetened almond milk to make the Bullet work. First I added about 1/2 cup but it wasn't enough. I had to stop it and add a bit more. The over ripe banana gave it the right amount of sweetness, since I'm on the #Whole30 I can't use any sweetener. You could use pitted dates for sweetness too, I just didn't...

Yellow squash, mushrooms, greens and meat sauce- #Paleo #Whole30

Yellow squash,  mushrooms, greens and meat sauce. In a large pan add 2 tablespoons of coconut oil Chop 5 white mushrooms or whichever mushrooms you happen to have. Chop about 3 yellow squash. Slice 1/4 of a green pepper. Toss everything in the pan and sautรฉe. Add a big handful of greens. I had a bag of power greens that has spinach, baby bok Choy, baby red & green chard so I used that. I also had left over thick meat sauce that I made the other day for the kids' spaghetti, I used about 5 tablespoons of that sauce in the mixture.  Covered the whole thing for a couple of minutes till everything looked done. I seasoned with salt and pepper.
