Morning Green Fix - Mean Green Juice

Has it happened to you yet, Have you noticed? These days when you get up, you feel the nip in the air ! Yes, we are heading towards the season of fall or I can say the "Eating Season" and soon What we call "Cheat-Day" - Those once in a week day is going to turn into cheat weeks :)

You may ask "Why"? Cause "Happy Day's are Coming Ahead" with candies / pies / meats / fried dishes / baked goodies n what-not, with all the festivities & excitement, approaching and our diet plan will go for a toss. 
And if you celebrate both east n west festivals just like me, you have double trouble cause winter is the most festive-packed months for us from Navratri, Dussehra, Diwali, Halloween, Thanksgiving...so on & also endless birthdays-anniversaries ! YaaaaaaY - I'm already envisioning delectable goodies just writing this post....yummmm

Mean Green Juice

So before all this really takes place and I completely loose myself, I'm trying to eat as much healthy, exercise :) and follow a control diet as I much as I can and the major chunk of my controlled diet plan is "smoothies / juices". They are full of fruits-veggies, giving our body the much needed energy, detox and keeping us full at the same time. 

But for many who are blessed with no such stress/threats, you can definitely drink all these smoothies/juices for a healthier and balanced life style.
