It’s a funny thing

Here’s how it typically goes down, I return from the gym, sweaty, smelly and hungry. I wash my hands (cause gyms have germs) and get to work making my shake. There is rarely a plan, it’s totally based on what’s on hand, what needs to get used, how hungry I really am, etc. So I whip up my concoction, pour it in a glass and then I take a picture. Mind you I have not yet had even a sip of my breakfast, if I did there’d be a gross residue section on the glass and, although it rarely shows, I try to take an appetizing picture. So there I am putting the glass, here and there trying (in vain) to find a little light and I’m hungry the whole time. Now here’s the twist, I’m not even sure the picture I am taking will be posted. I can make a yummy smoothie but occasionally, I can make one that is seriously difficult to choke down and some days (like today) it’s a total crap shoot. But today was a winner and here it is:
1 cup Rice Milk
2 tablespoons Chai (I used the Tazo brand – it has sugar)
1 large handful raw spinach
1 handful raw cashews
1 scoop amazing greens powder (Chocolate kids version)
1 heaping table spoon Cacao
1 tsp maca
1 scoop Vega (Vanilla Chai)
1/2 to 2/3 cup frozen organic cherries
Blend and serve and take a picture if you want.
What are you, Nuttzo?

2 tbs Nuttzo NP
What is Nuttzo you ask? Nuttzo is my new fun thing to dump in smoothies or smother on Ezekiel bread or spread on apples, it’s got: Cashews, Almonds, Brazil Nuts, Hazelnuts, Chia Seeds, Flax Seeds and Pumpkin Seeds ALL of which are organic and full of Omega-3’s. The other thing that’s nuts about this product is the price, it’s like $16.00, BUT it’s pretty much a meal in a couple tablespoons, so maybe it’s not so bad. They’ve got a few other flavors like “Dark Chocolate” that have an amazing nutty blend as well- that one is calling my name…after this whole rancid peanut thing passes that is! Until then I’m good with the Nuttzo NP (no peanut).
