Back in November I finally jumped on the green smoothie bandwagon, and I really wish I could say they've been keeping me healthy this winter...but alas, I am somehow on day 16 (sixteen!!) of a sinus-infection-turned-head-cold. Apparently green smoothies do not guard against baby germs, because all the times I've gotten sick these past few months can be traced back to the sweet little runny button noses of a niece or nephew (both of whom will remain nameless...;).
Pardon my language, but I'm really hoping I can kick this dumb thing once and for all this weekend. I've got a fridge stocked full of our favorite green smoothie greens, and I don't plan on letting my neti pot out of my sight ever (BFF these days, me & my neti pot). So, note to self: eat your greens, and stay away from sick babies!
hope you feel better soon! at least you're getting as many nutrients as possible, green smoothies are the best for that.
ReplyDeleteUgh, so sorry! We're just finishing up our 4th cold of the winter, and we've been drinking green smoothies constantly. Obviously the greens didn't help us either :(
ReplyDeleteSo excited to see you soon! Hope you feel better soon!
Aww, I'm afraid we are sick around this household too. Hoping we are all healthy again ASAP.
ReplyDeleteFeel better! I've been fighting a head cold for the last month it feels like! They're no fun at all. Go away sick January! Have a swell weekend, lady. :)

ooh, yum. cheers to green smoothies!
ReplyDeleteAww, I hope you feel better soon! Being sick is so exhausting too! my BF actually suggested that I use a neti pot when I was sick, I was a little afraid of the process! Does it really help?
ReplyDeleteyes! i was wary at first too, but i love it!
DeleteA neti pot will change your life if you are sick or someone that has seasonal allergies!
DeleteThey are easy to find at drugstores now!!
You should share your recipe for your smoothie!! I want to start making them too :)
ReplyDeleteours are nothing fancy...usually just apple, banana, a few grapes, and as many greens as i can fit (with ice & water) :)
DeleteGet well soon! I had that sickness for about 3 weeks and thought I was dying!
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling better soon! The pictures are great. Makes me want a green smoothie RIGHT NOW...
ReplyDeleteI was craving orange juice, sunny d, oranges for a week or so. Then I felt like I was getting a sore throat or maybe it was from the cold dry air. I kept up with the orange juice even after the cravings stopped. I'm not sure what my body was trying to fight, but I feel just fine.
ReplyDeleteI hope you get better soon.
When you said "pardon my language" I was expecting something entirely different after it, haha. But get better soon, Whit.
ReplyDeletehaha! just trying to keep you on your toes, rach. ;)
Deleteugh being sick is horrible. I got the flu last night & called in sick today. I feel like crap. I also do green smoothies every morning. Love it, but I guess they don't make us invincible after all.
ReplyDeletei've been sick the entire month of january with the same sinus infection junk! i'm convinced it's winter's fault and it should never come around again ;)
ReplyDeleteGood Luck! Hope you feel better soon.

ReplyDeleteI haven't gotten around to trying a green smoothie, something about the idea of pureed spinach makes me gag. Hope you start feeling better!

haha i used to be the same. in fact, they still sometimes make me gag so i have to drink mine with a straw!
DeleteOh gosh, I've always wanted to try those green smoothie diets but I just haven't gotten up the courage to let go of all my favorite grunge foods, or even a smoothie maker. I suppose I should get on that... ;)
ReplyDeleteFeel better soon!
xo TJ
who said anything about giving up favorite grunge foods?? ;)
Deleteoh no! the bug's got you too? :( feel better super soon!
ReplyDelete(that's also a lovely veggie image you have up there! seriously so cool looking :)
Get well soon! It seems like everyone is catching a bug this time of year :/ I've been thinking of trying green smoothies and have been on a hunt for a good recipe so feel free to share haha

that's great! i've tried green smoothies and juices, but i've found that it isn't quite my thing. lovely photos per usual!
ReplyDeletethose babies..i got sick from my baby nephew a few weeks ago as well. get better soon! :)
It's hard to stay away from sick babies when they are your own. Grrr. Sinus infection for me too last week. I was so stuffed up the neti pot wouldn't even cut thru it! But we're on the mend! Hooray! And hopefully you are too :)
ReplyDeleteIt may not taste the best, but add some ginger, garlic, and onion to your smoothie. That should help kick any illness' butt. (Excuse my language)
ReplyDeletei keep picking things up too, thank goodness my baby has the immune system of a soldier or else i'd be REALLY mad!
ReplyDeleteGet well soon!!!
ReplyDeletebeautiful images.
ReplyDeletei hope you've kicked that head cold!
xo,
