ANOTHER green smoothie? Come on, Juli.
I’m so freaking tired. These 5am shifts are pulling me down. It’s just so early. And so dark outside. And so depressing. At least I coach some amazing people, or it would be complete hell.
So yesterday, I ran to the gym. As soon as I started running, I knew it was a bad idea. I haven’t been this sore since Regionals. And I have no idea why. I’m going lighter in weights, so I’m moving quicker through the movements and actually using my muscle correctly…so that’s probably why. Like with back squats. I suck ass at them. So now that I’m going a bit lighter, I actually use my ass in the squats. And now I feel like someone beat my ass with a baseball bat. Cool, but not really. So after I got done at the workout yesterday, I did not run home. I walked. And it got cold reaaaaaaal quick. But there was no way my legs were going to move at a quicker pace, no way. But walking is fun sometimes. You notice more weird things. And people. Like the woman in the park who was kicking at the geese. These geese, just minding their own business, and this woman is kicking her way through. Rude. Weirdo.
Want a bra story to end your work week?! OK!!
So I bought this sticky bra a few weeks back and was pumped about it. Because it just sticks to your boobs and you have to do nothing. Genius. Until you’re on the dance floor and things get sweaty. Sticky bras can get a bit slippery in that situation. Ew. Anywho, I bought this new one and opened it up to find that it was two sizes too small. Packaging idiots. Did that mean I took it back and got a new size? Hell no. I’m too lazy for that nonsense. So I wore the sticky bra that was two sizes too small with pride. No comfortably. Whatsoever. I looked the opposite of middle school memories. Instead of wearing a padded bra that was two sizes too big and the boys chanting ‘boobless’ to me, I wore one that was two sizes too small, falling down to my belly while dancing, with the boys saying nothing. Absolutely nothing. Sexy Juli 2013 is having a rough start.
Don’t you love Friday bra stories? I sure do.

I’m just going to admit right now that in a matter of a week, I’ve made 3 batches of this smoothie. I can’t recall the last time (if ever) that I made 3 batches of a recipe in a week!
I don’t have coconut milk on hand. Is there any chance that unsweetened vanilla almond milk will work as a substitute?
yeah that would work just fine!
This is breakfast tomorrow! Looking forward to it!
YUM! Thanks Juli!
I made this with kind of a bad attitude, thinking it would taste like grass. But it’s completely tasty! Love the green apple and coconut flavors together. Six stars.
This was delightful! I am a huge fan of green smoothies, and always looking for something new and interesting. Usually I opt for berries if I put fruit in, but the green apple made this light and fresh. I’m already looking forward to the one I’m having tomorrow!
This was so yummy! What a great way to get the greens that I don’t really care for.
Why do you peel the apple? Will you please explain?
thank you!
you don’t have to. it just blends better that way
Yummmm! I just want to say my boyfriend and I absolutely LOVE your blog. You’re great, thanks for all the entertaining stories and great recipes! We’re from Sydney so with some recipes (like spaghetti squash) it’s hard to make so we always improvise with something else paleo. But we have yet to make something from your site that we DON’T like. Thank you!!!!!
Hey Juli! I was wicked psyched to make this today, but was out of avocados and short on spinach. I made it anyway, and loved it! I will make the real thing next time. I did an “homage” to your recipe on my blog. Thanks for all your inspiration!!
