Vegetables

I am not the healthiest eater as anyone who knows me can attest. I have been trying to do better though. In fact right now Amy and I have joined Ann in a sugar fast. Not easy. Did you know that ice cream has sugar in it. I have always said that if vegetables tasted even reasonably good I would eat them. Now I have to make good on that statement. The other day one of the guys I share fitness and diet info with at work brought me a "shake". I drank it and thought it tasted ok. It was a little chunky for me, but I could stand it. Turns out it was full of spinach, celery, and parsley. The secret was a cup of OJ and a ring of pineapple. I came home and told Amy about it and not long afterwards she bought me this great little personal blender. The guy at work has one of those Magic Bullet infomercial blenders. It works ok, but it leaves the shake very fibrous. This blender makes the shakes smooth with not even little chunks. It came with four personal cups, lids, and an actual blender container too.

Here is one of the shakes. Yeah, I know it looks horrible. Believe me I really hesitated before drinking the first one. It was a little scary. I actually like them though, and they are very filling. I get at least a serving of green leafys, some fruit, and all for just over 100 calories. Highly recommended.
