recently i have taken to having a green smoothie for breakfast and that is it. i used to think i needed something solid too but i am experimenting with what my needs for food really are at this point in my life and finding a giant greenie holds me nicely until lunch. (and of course my coffee!)
todays smoothie:
1 c. chopped chard
1 c. baby arugula
1/2 a cucumber chopped
1 stick of celery chopped
combine these with about a cup of water in the blender and blend away.
then add:
1/2 c. frozen peas
1/4 c. frozen blueberries
1/2 c. frozen strawberries
a few tablespoons of ground flax seed
another few oz of water
blend well…i let it buzz along for a few minutes it seems.
later in the morning our newly found and much appreciated babysitter arrived to watch the bean and pea while i treated myself to a haircut. when i got home beanie offered to take a picture of it:
it’s hard for me to put that photo up without obsessing about if i look ok in it and because it is so hard i am doing it! i did crop the outlet out of the image but other than that it is the bean’s photo. go beanie bop.
speaking of the beanie bop. he is 4. i could wax poetic about the last four years, oh yes i could, but for now i’ll just share a few photo’s of the cake we ate with him the other day to celebrate. (thanks for the cake gramps!)
and those are some recent changes around here.
p.s. i am feeling kind of inspired by this project. fun? awesome? crazy? time-suck? hmmmmmmmmmm.
Haircut = awesome.
I like the smoothie-for-breakfast idea. Lately all I can manage in the morning is a cup of herbal tea (because of the whole being pregnant thing), but maybe if I tried smoothies… maybe…

love the cut. so sexy and fab. suits you.
i am going to have to try the greenie smoothie. looks great. i have some favorite green smoothies, but i definitely get stuck in a habit of the same thing. i tend to lean towards kale and spinach way too much. 🙂 i like the looks of yours.
the bean is 4! oh my, oh my! he is scrumptiously adorable. congrats to the bunch of you!
love,
j.
i’ve missed your blog, along with so many others!
happy birthday to the bean….and oh my, you are way too much with that green machine drink!
love the hair. i need to take a picture of my neighbor and send it to you. she is your twin!
I never thought to put celery, cucumbers or peas in my green smoothie. I usually stick to greens. Does it still taste fruity?
