It started when she was interested in my smoothie, so I let her have a sip, and she quickly monopolized the glass! So, now I fill up her straw cup with her own.
Since that picture was taken, however, my sweetie and I have watched two documentaries, Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead, and Forks over Knives. (Both are available on Netflix, which is how we watched them.) I came away with the conclusion that at the very least, we should be eating more vegetables. And so green is in!
The first time, I threw in a bunch of spinach leaves, but now kale is on the weekly shopping list and I appreciate its milder taste. Besides that, lately I've simply been throwing a frozen banana, strawberries (or a peach or other berries), a big scoop of plain yoghurt, half a dozen ice cubes, about a tablespoon of coconut oil and enough fruit juice to make it blend nicely into our ordinary old blender, and they come out so yummy! I guess they've gotten quite a bit fancier since last year and especially the year before!
I watched Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead a while back and found the show interesting. I can say that when I had shingles this past spring, I turned to juicing to try to help my body to recover. I think the green color is the hardest part to get past! I made a vegetable juice of tomatoes, carrots, celery and kale. It wasn't too bad.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sick or nearly dead yet. I do have a little fat. I've found that, when challenged by a drink that is oddly colored and malodorous, the best way to "down" it is to simply pinch both nostrils, close the eyes, and down the hatch it goes. Hope this may be of some help to your readers.

Dad, you are too funny. :) I don't even know what to say . . .
DeleteExcept that my smoothies are yummy! They taste like fruit!
