Here's what I mean.
I've been on a bit of a quest to become more "green". And really, it's quite selfish. It's not that I'm a tree hugger or anything like that, I just want to make sure that I keep myself and my family as healthy as possible. Most of my crunchy adventures lately have all been to improve health. Well, this week I made the mistake of reading about 400 too many articles about plastic and all those nasty little chemicals that have been leaching into my food and *gasp* whatever is in Claire's sippy cup! So, now I''m on a mission to clear out my tupperware cabinet and replace it with glass containers, and find a stainless steel water bottle for myself and probably one for Claire too. One of the sites a came upon (and it's now in my Reader list as well), NatureMoms even has a great giveaway for a BPA free water bottle.
Browsing this site, I also came across this great recipe. Now Claire asks for her green smoothie every afternoon and I'm having no problems getting a little spinach into her. I altered it a bit to according to this and to fit my diet...
Blend 2 C water and @ 2 C spinach
Add 1 banana, 1 C frozen strawberries, 1 C mixed berries
1-2 Tbsp flax oil
And there you go, I yummy way to get veggies into the kiddos!
Really, you can't taste the spinach at all...

Well I'll admit - it doesn't look like it would taste fab. - but I'll take your word for it. Who knows - maybe I'll even try it!! And, I totally agree with the plastic...I've switched to stainless steel too... :)
Hmmm, I can't say it looks great but we love smoothies so I'll give it a try. Where does one get flax seed oil?
I will take you word for it that that tastes yummy :)
One day I will join you at the gym again! Great job at going though. So, have they replaced the step class with body pump. Or did you say you went on Monday...
Yeah I will have to take your word for it too!! :) It does sound good..minus the spinach!!
