opposites. {Project 52}

30 days ago, my go-to afternoon pick-me-up? The shiny red Coke can on the left.

30 days later? The glass jar of green goodness on the right.

This week's Project 52 theme is opposites.

Completely unlike. Contrary. Contrasted. Converse.

I still love a good Coke every now and again, but I've changed my everyday, mid-afternoon habit after starting the year off with a 30-day green smoothie challenge.

I've traded in my caffeine for green.

I feel more alert (especially during the afternoon slump).

I no longer wonder what's for lunch (& I'm not tempted to eat kiddie fare).

It's easy to keep the ingredients stocked (because most can reside in the freezer).

And my body seems to be thanking me.

It's different than my regular routine {quite the opposite, in fact} but sometimes a little change does a body good.

Ready to give your blender a whirl? Check out this site. Some of my faves: Beginner's Luck {pictured above}, Berry Zinger, Strawberry, Banana & Blueberry, Berry Cherry Jubilee. #1 green smoothie tip: blend your liquid and your greens first before adding the fruit to avoid chunky bits of leaves in your cup!

Now head on over to Autumn's blog {and the rest of the Project 52 crew} to see what opposites she rounded up this week!
