When hearing the word “smoothie,” thoughts of hot summer morning chores such as yard work were often awarded with a smoothie<\/em>.\u00a0 The short-drive-when-you-could-walk to the 7-11 was the closest smoothie<\/em>\u00a0location.\u00a0 The summer mood is languorous, awaiting a saw-sucking delight splayed and sprayed from a metal container specifically\u00a0for this purpose and in the store.\u00a0 Desperate heat waves call for such measures.\u00a0<\/p>\n

With that in mind, I never cared about the smoothie<\/em> ingredients inside those large metal cylinders.\u00a0 I wanted cold and sweet and that’s what I wanted!<\/p>\n

Now I know better.\u00a0 I think my age is teaching me to pay more attention to my body.\u00a0 Therefore, I make my own smoothies<\/em>.\u00a0\u00a0As much of my daily life is spent\u00a0between my kitchen and my home office, I greatly enjoy\u00a0blending various fruits or colorful vegetables with the thought of being healthy.<\/p>\n

Proclaiming to be\u00a0a creative wizard,\u00a0my concoctions are\u00a0rarely shared\u00a0 because much of the time I cannot remember what I put in the blender.\u00a0 That’s the type of cook I am as well.\u00a0 And I am a good<\/strong> cook!\u00a0<\/p>\n

The blender is the mechanism of choice; the only kitchen appliance I use for my smoothies<\/em>.\u00a0 Oftentimes I have to hurry to find a container to\u00a0refrigerate what was made\u00a0in order to\u00a0wash out the blender to make something else.\u00a0 The easy and pleasant convenience<\/strong> of the smoothie<\/em> container safely kept in the refrigerator is always looked forward to.<\/p>\n

This habit has become a convenient and\u00a0expected delight for any time of day in any type of temperature.\u00a0 When I do not have time to make a sandwich or warm a bowl of soup or prepare a general meal, my smoothies are there – fruit or vegetable.<\/p>\n

I delight in the fact that it is all natural with so many essential vitamins and minerals and pheromones, and whatever-mones\u00a0that a\u00a0body can handle.\u00a0 This is what makes healthy eating fun.\u00a0 There are\u00a0many recipes on the internet that I indulge in or use as a base when adding my own ingredients.\u00a0 It depends on what is available in my refrigerator.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hmm.\u00a0 It is time to take a break.\u00a0 You know I’m heading for the refrigerator for that banana-blackberry-stevia sweetened-2 peeled oranges-with water smoothie that I blended this afternoon.\u00a0 It is waiting for me too!<\/p>\n

Enjoy!\u00a0 AK.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
