    I can’t organize my fridge to save my life. We’re terrible at letting leftover containers stay there too long, or letting the veggies turn to slime. It’s not pretty. And I always tell myself I’ll be better, and then…nope.
    So congrats on the brand new fridge! That’s exciting!
    And smoothies are the best for energy. And you can make them ahead, which is even better. This one looks so dreamy!

    My fridge is clean and organized for one day, once a month, when I empty everything out and clean the shelves, the following day its back to chaos in there. 😉 Congrats on the new fridge lady! I have been on the look out for a new one, and my husband wants the one that just came out with the android screen on the front (you can see whats in your fridge from the grocery store)… but i’m not sold on spending so much money. #frugal. Anyways, i’m super impressed you are staying with the 30 day smoothie diet! Not hard to see why because this smoothie looks amazing, as did the smoothie bowl you posted Monday! Love the color and the flavors! Cheers, Alice and happy almost weekend!

    Congrats on the new fridge! And Costco is the best for stocking up on fruits and veggies – I simply love their bags of frozen fruits and veggies!
    And Alice – thanks so much for sharing those tips – I’ve been trying a variation of #3 in that I use frozen veggies and ice but I cannot wait to try a smoothie with only frozen veggies!

    I’ve been loving seeing all your green smoothies pictures on FB this week! I could easily drink a green smoothie everyday for a month. I love ’em! These are some great smoothie making tips. I’ve never bothered blending in stages before (= lazy!), but tomorrow morning I’m going to try that!

    Keeping a clean and organized fridge is one of the hardest things ever. It sounds simple enough, but I swear as soon as I blink everything is back to utter chaos. Loving this green smoothie. It’s so vibrant and would make a perfect breakfast! Hope your year is off to a great start! Happy Friday!

    I love that you have 3 refrigerators. We just moved and now only have one and I am constantly running out of space. These green smoothies look awesome! I need more greens in my life for sure! 🙂 Happy New Year.

    I love smoothies. We call them the green drink and the kids love them. I like the touch of color with the pomegranates. I agree with those tips too. Maybe even more veggies, when pineapple is used. Your green color is perfect!
