Healthy Green Smoothie on Weekend


It’s Thursday today. Yay! It’s weekend and we are loving it. Who doesn’t? Everyone needs rest. Everyone needs break. Five days of non-stop work load usually ends on Wednesday here in Saudi Arabia and in other neighboring middle-east countries because our weekdays starts from Saturday. Yeah.

Spending Weekend

Today is such a lazy Thursday. I just feel like cuddling up in bed the whole day and enjoy being passive. No patients. No phone calls. No doctors’ inquiries. No in-patient charts. No repacking of Calcium tablets. No restocking in the medicine shelves. No prescriptions. No dispensing. Just me. Just us. Don’t you love weekends? I do!

However, a day wouldn’t be a day without activities. I have to run on some chores. That’s fine anyway after all, it’s just me and hubby. Away from home. Our workplace is our confinement and weekend is our freedom. So, celebrate freedom then!

In my previous post, I’ve talked about our much-raved green smoothie which I believed already cost me 8 pounds off the scale. Yay! Good sign huh! If it will continue to be like this, I’ll be shedding more pounds on the coming weeks and hope to get back to my target weight.

Healthy Green Breakfast

For our breakfast, we had this healthy pineapple-citrus green smoothie and I must tell you, this is way so addicting. If you want to know how to make one, you can read it here. As a soda freak, I don’t crave for soda anymore which is good for me since I have elevated uric acid. I never had the inclination before to follow a healthy-eating lifestyle until I had my recent lab results which serves as an eye-opener for me to consider modifying my unhealthy eating habits.

This is it. Our power green breakfast.

How To Make A Green Smoothie


To stay fit is to stay young. Being young is not only about age coz age can be defied given the proper discipline. Watching out calorie intake and sweating out to maintain good physique is but another load for many and will spoil the relish of being carefree and I am not to be spared from the blame. As they say health is wealth and its verity is indisputable. While we guiltlessly indulged in unhealthy lifestyle and eating habits, little did we realized the impact of our being irresponsible and the long-term effects will be taking its toll in our well-being.
