morning blend.

Let's talk breakfast shall we? Have you heard of a green smoothie? I hadn't, until about four days ago when my friend told me about them. I was intrigued. The fact that she, and many other people, claimed they were good tasting was something I had to see, or taste, for myself. I mean, really, could a smoothie with greens and fruit be good? Look at it! It certainly doesn't look all that appealing, in fact, I saw something quite similar in my son's diaper last week. However, I did like the fact that this is a fast and easy way to get more fruits and veggies into my daily diet, something I am always falling short on. So, this morning I set out to make my first green smoothie. And I have to say, not bad. Not bad at all. And what you may ask was in my green smoothie? Well, I will tell you.

-couple handfuls of SPINACH

-2 KALE leaves

-handful of frozen BLUEBERRIES

-2 BANANAS

-handful MIXED frozen FRUIT

-1/2 APPLE

-1/2 PEAR

-1 cup WATER

This mixture made enough for two big glasses. I ate half for breakfast and saved the other half for a midday snack. I would like to implement green smoothies into my diet at least a couple days a week, if not more. And I hope to get Rowan to eat a little bit too!

**WARNING**

These smoothies give you F-I-E-R-C-E fierce GAS. Not only are you tooting all day, but can we talk about the smell? OK, we wont, but trust me, toxic. Walk away I tell you, walk away!
