Lots of informative websites out there filled with interesting green smoothie recipes, but there was definitely a lot of the "send $5000 to my uncle in Nigeria and he will personally prescribe you the ultimate green smoothie for your blood type" sites out there. It was a source of some amusement.My favourite was the one whose privacy policy was just lorem ipsum text. The site had been around for at least a year and a half, so no excuses there.
Have never understood the success of sites that have have about 60 pages of text on the one page with "thousands of success stories from real people" and gigantic red text saying things like "GUARANTEED TO MAKE YOUR LIFE 4X MORE SUPER AMAZING FOR REAL" - it all feels like a relic of a simpler time. But, like spam email, someone must be giving these guys money, otherwise they wouldn't still be doing it.
Anyway, now that I have my bucket of lettuce, I'm ready to start my 14 day Green Smoothie Challenge. The theory seems sound. It might not work for me. But there are a lot of people singing its praises who aren't (discernably) making a direct profit from it, so I'll give it a shot.
I've created a meal plan for the next fortnight with my smoothies included, as well as a spot to record activity. Will try to update it through the week as some things will doubtless need to be altered.
So. Guinea pig mode beginning in 5...4...3...2...1...
