Super smoothie!

I should have taken a photo of my blender this morning. I had 2 bananas, 1 kiwi, 6 strawberries, 2 kale leaves, 2 tablespoons chia seeds, half a cup of So Delicious coconut milk!

Overcooked vegetables make me very sad. Raw is the best, but this is a decent guide for cooked. I don’t recommend regularly cooking in the microwave though, as it destroys nutrients even more than other methods.

I’ve had that yucky can of el paso lard beans that someone brought here without checking the ingredients, so I bought some other food to donate a bag to Stamp Out Hunger which is being collected tomorrow by our postal carrier. I only spent $15.18 at Giant on the rest of the stuff! I realize I forgot taco shells though :(

I’ve been eating a lot more fruit and it’s been amazing. I want to eat all of this.
