So, it's back to regular life in the Simonds household. Yesterday, that meant running for 66 minutes, walking 3 miles, and having over a quart of green smoothie. It also meant reacquainting Bear with the front porch (he got all excited as we went out there) and playing outside in the driveway. Bear also ate bread for the 1st time today. It was rice bread made with egg replacer, but bread none the less. I gave it to him while I was cooking breakfast. He kept putting it on the floor and staring at it between bites. Obviously, we're not germaphobes in this house :)
I've gotten a lot of inquiries lately about how to get started making green smoothies. So keep your eyes open for a series of posts I'll call "Green Smoothies 101".

Green Smoothies on the Road
This post is not about the Exodus conference, per se, except that I'm at the Exodus conference and I'm writing it ;)
Today, I made my 1st green smoothie on this trip. Yesterday, I didn't have a green smoothie, though I had plenty of raw fruits & veggies, including half a bag of spinach. Last trip, almost 3 months ago, was a road trip, so I was able to bring my blender (which means I've been drinking green smoothies well over 3 months!). The blender definitely would not have fit in the suitcase this time, so I brought a simple hand blender. The other half bag of spinach had frozen in our too cold mini fridge, so Roy suggested I make a green smoothie out of it. I blended the drink in a empty spring water gallon jug that I cut the top off of. It took forever..... and ever...... and ever. I can't believe I used to make green smoothies with this thing!
My smoothie included (using some food we brought from home & some from a store run):
Spinach
Kale
Banana
Strawberries
Nectarine
Hemp Protein Powder
Stevia
It came out OK once it finally blended - actually not that different than when I make it at home. I'm waiting for the day when I can upgrade my blender! Roy watched me make a green smoothie at home this past weekend, and our blender takes sooo long. I think it made him appreciate the process all the more.
