Our first green smoothies!!

Yay!!! We finally bit the bullet and sprang for a Vitamix 5200. BEST. INVESTMENT. EVER. Here's a pic of our very first green smoothies

We used a bunch of kale, 2 pears, some green cabbage and some cauliflower, half of an avocado and water & ice. I have never felt soooooo good, so instantly from eating something. And that feeling lasted for a couple of hours :) I am so happy about this. I went to Mom's yesterday (yesterday morning was our first smoothies) and stocked up like never before on fruits and veggies. We tried a different one for dinner, this one wasn't as tasty but it still worked. We had that and some veggie sushi rolls for dinner- very satisfying.
Later on I finally unpacked the rest of the materials that came with the Vitamix. I put together the (AWESOME) recipe book- you should have seen my face as I read myself to sleep with it. One incredibly easy and awesome and magnificent recipe after another. The possibilities are endless. LIFE IS GOOD!! Woot!!

Oh yeah :) I love those things. The best ice cream in the world? made with that mixer? 1 frozen super brown mushy banana, hand full of strawberries ( or blue berries ) alll need to be over ripe and sweet mushy, and about 3 or 4 tablespoons of agave nectar. Blend it. It is going to take some real arm work... but.. that is SOOOOO dang good. You can eat it all day :)
