    MKK I do freeze a lot of greens
    Same as bananas
    As you know the shelf life is weak on them.
    Plus they end up going in the blender anyway.

    Have a great day everyone

    @dannytrees1 - thank you for the Morning greens shake inspiration!

    I infused my French press coffee with cacao nibs this morning. If you like a lil rich chocolate flavor it’s great. (Also antioxidants!)

    Inquiring minds want to know .. what’s boathouse juice? 😏

    I was away for the weekend for a concert of my favorite band (Cowboy Junkies) and I know this is a rhetorically question but why is it that when your relaxed/on vacation/no work stress it’s so much easier to get your fruits/veggies eaten vs fast food. I know I just answered my own question…stress. It’s like the chicken/egg idea-more fruit/veg less or less stress more time for fruit/veg.

    Anyway, Friday I gad this delicious salad for dinner (though I admit it could have used less bacon)

    For breakfast I had this:

    Some brocollini in it with potatoes, peppers, onion. Morning so definitely a virgin bloody mary but I’ll drink my veg.

    Went to a book store after local farmers market (since traveling bought hardy veg: onions, peppers, radish, apples) and had a snack of milk steamer with cinnamon & pastry probably not healthy but at least it had some fresh blueberries & strawberries.

    Sunday Avocado Toast! 2 more avocados to go, we seem to be getting them before they've gone too ripe, yay! One was a bit dicey, but the others have been fine, avocados go ripe so fast! Probably shouldn't buy 6 at a time. Hubby made today's toasts, tomatoes aren't charred, only warmed ;-).

    My goodness… things are hopping on this Sunday.
    Must be the greens🌴
    You’re all making some amazing things…. Good work 👍
    SG … that juice I misspelled it
    It is Bolt House
    Instead of me adding the pomegranate juice I found this stuff shopping early Friday morning
    It has many fruits in it including kiwi 👻🛺
    I’m liking it, and has more good stuff in there.
    MK I forgot to pick up a avocado 🙀
    Film Gal l… Cowboy Junkies 👍🌴

    Happy (rainy) Monday! 🙋‍♀️

    I forgot to take a picture, but I had a slice of Dave's with a tbsp of Mrs Bridge's Four Fruit Marmalade Orange Lemon Grapefruit Lime with my Protein Tea today:

    Dinner will be the same as last night (already made the other servings, last night), except with an add'l half of a baked sweet potato today, too. No greens today, but I did get several freggie servings in :). Yellow bell pepper, 1; carrot, 1/2; tomato, 1; red beans, 1/2; sweet potato, 1; not a banner day, but not a barren day, either ;-).

    That's kinda light on calories for the day, so maybe I'll have a piece of fruit with a Oui yogurt pot for snack, after dinner ...

    Cheers!

    Tuesday Greens! Last avocado of the six bought last week. They all made it! (I don't think I'll buy 6 at once again, tho :p):

    ... and Sweet Potato crisps (a little too crisped 😜), with artichoke, spinach, and bacon stuffed breaded chicken breasts (Wilshire Farms, ready to cook).
