    @mkksemail - they must have been tri-state area tomatoes haha 😉

    Keeping up on the greens .. though this is more of a juice than a smoothie.

    Trying to recreate a fav store bought juice of mine. (That I spend way too much $ on!)

    Celery
    Collard greens
    Grapefruit
    Spinach
    Lemon

    Looks a bit like pond water - but tastes good! (Used a vitamix instead of a juicer)

    Lmao @ pond water 😂

    Which flavor do you taste the most? Thinking celery or grapefruit would stand out?

    In this batch the celery stood out more. Though I love grapefruit! Maybe I’ll use more grapefruit next time ..

    Might not have a green day again today ... fajitas at sisters tonight. I'll do my best 😁.

    Hoping all is improving at the sick house, Tati 🙏

    My yesterday we as not a banner food day -
    Ughhhh I feel like a roly poly weeble who wobbles but doesn't fall down 🤐

    Totally busted my calorie budget yesterday 😝. Oh well, moving forward! Lol

    Protein tea, nf yogurt, berry medley for bfast. Back on track 👍

    Taking hubby to the boardwalk at Jones Beach this afternoon. Should be a nice day for a walk at the boardwalk - sunny skies, spring breeze, 71°F ☀️

    Icksnay on-yay fajitas-shay ! 😂

    Today's Salad was in two parts- dry add-ins were munched trail mix style as snacks on boardwalk walking this afternoon, with hubby.

    Wet add-ins, greens, and cherry tomatoes, were dinner when we got home.

    Quick ci .... tired, but happy - 8:29p ET ci, Monday - Goal! 🌟

    16,206 steps. Had such a lovely afternoon stomping around several miles of boardwalk. Hubby was glad we went, he'd never been to Jones Beach before - couldn't believe how huge the parking lots were, then the same again fir how big the beaches were!

    I said you should see it in summer, jammed with people.

    Hoping all is well at Tati House/ House of Infirm 🙏

    Happy Friday!

    No salad today, out of salad greens, and pre-prepped add-ins 🤪.

    I've already had a banana tho, and will have a mandarin later, I'll try to add some cherry tomatoes and/or dried fruit for snacks ....

    No greens tho 😬

    Tati, sure hope you all are on the mend, at yours! ❤️‍🩹

    I have smoothies all the time, but I put kale in it for the first time tonight. Pleasant surprise. It made my smoothie thicker and more filling. I use vanilla unsweetened almond milk, unsweetened vanilla protein powder, and fruit, so it's usually a little sweet. Kale made it taste less sweet, but didn't hurt the flavor at all. I'm gonna do it again! Good way to add veggies!

    Nice, SafariGal!

    I had green beans and carrots with dinner, but no salad. Seafood feast on the beach at a beach side restaurant near Oyster Bay with sister and brother-in-law. Really good! And feet in the sand while we ate was nice too ⛱️🌊

    Tati, hoping all is well at yours ❤️‍🩹

    No salad today - it's our last day here, we're eating to clear out the fridge 😉.

    Tati, haven't heard from you since you and your son got so sick ... hoping you all are okay ❤️‍🩹.

    Driving back to Maine at midnight. 🚘

    Cheers!
