FIRST DAY DINNER DRINK AND WRAP UP

Well, as usual, I have a hard time sticking to the rules.  Put the ingredients into the Ninja and did a foot soak like supposed to be an Epsom salt bath.  Took a shower, put the blender container in the frig and went to bed. Was fast asleep by 9:00. I had no desire to drink the dinner smoothie.

FIRST DAY LUNCH SMOOTHIE

No problem waiting until lunch.  Felt full until lunch time and then wanted to eat some real food not junk food.  Now about the lunch drink.

Really green
Can't say that I really love it.  It's one of those ok kind of things but is taking me a while to drink.  The recipe calls for 4 celery stalks.  I think that 2 would be sufficient tastewise.  Also, I found that I had to blend first half of ingredients before adding the last half.  Still the quantity was above the MAX mark on the NutriBullet container.
Check out the MAX mark on container.  I didn't have any problem with the NutriBullet although I had read reviews describing major leaking when filled above that MAX mark.  It seems to have blended well and generally worked fine.

FIRST DAY BREAKFAST SMOOTHIE

Actually rather good
As you can tell, I drank half of it before I took the pic.

What will I do differently next time:  I think the flaxseed didn't get ground quite enough.  It wasn't gross or anything like that but it could have been smoother.  I probably should have blended longer or else I should have put in the flaxseed first for a little pre-smoothie blend.   

Yes, that is the detox smoothie in a McDonald's Coke glass!
