Well beginning of the week and why not start it off healthy, with all the fresh goodies at home we were able to get this bright green colour back, good thing I was starting to get nervous that we would get kicked out of the challenge for presenting non super green smoothies.
Wifey is happy with her purchases from the states, as apparently Target which is only like what 40 KM away from each other stock completely different items, wifey picked up a pair of flat sandals which for some reason are not stocked up here.
Moving along as for the taste, I actually have not noticed the taste in a few days, its like drinking water, I guess as long as there is not poo in the smoothie I should be good to go.
Now that I mention that, I recently read an article about yogurt and how its genetic makeup is essentially the same as poo, wifey also mentioned a while back that her doctor said stop eating yogurt as its essentially scooping poo into your mouth. Haha I hope no one is eating yogurt at the same time they are reading this. :-P
Today's smoothie was a bit less appealing in look as we had added strawberries, in fact it looks like vomit but at least it did not taste like vomit. Today we substituted out the mangoes for coconut water and honestly did not taste any different, maybe if this goes well we can start up our own smoothie bar.
After all like i mentioned the other day that you get a complete fruit and veggie intake before you even get morning coffee.
Watched a documentary the other day about how we as a generation are the richest generation in history, unfortunately we eat like crap thus making us the most obese generation, well i would not consider myself obese, but I know as you age you start to get more rounder, as most of the retirees i see are a bit rounder.
Note to self must stay active.
Ali and I are on our way to Croatia, and I often tell her how my favorite smoothie is at Smoothie King, but it seems limited to the east coast. So anyway, I stopped off and got an immune builder.
It appears I am running out of items to write about since it is the same photo day in and day out. I guess I will have to moreso talk about how boring my day is after I consume this most delectable smoothie.
A few days ago wifey and I watched Chef, we both rather enjoyed the movie, but what we also wanted to enjoy was this sandwich which was featured in the movie, Cubano, which was some pork with mustard some cheese between a soft bun toasted golden brown on a press that has been slathered with butter. Well the hunt was on and I did my research and found 2 locations in town that offered said sandwich.
Location 1 - The Red Umbrella (did not try... yet)
Location 2 - Havana Restaurant
Now the story actually was that last night I was going to take Wifey and Cousin to La Mezcaleria but that was kiboshed by the fact that it was 9:30ish and the wait would be an hour and a half, so since the Cubano was on my mind I set forth to walk down the 4 blocks to Havana Restaurant.
The restaurant was also packed but the wait was only about 5 minutes according to the hostess.
The first table available was on their patio, it was a nice warm evening so we took it. Wifey rather enjoyed it and it would mark our first time dining al fresco, not including the times that we bbq on our deck. It was rather enjoyable and the lighting was fabulous.
Anyways long story short we ordered the Cuban Sandwich and it was delicious!
After years of battling the filthy French, who never wash their hands, especially when going between handling money and food, I wanted to register this "historic" moment where I was back in a culture where people pay attention to hygiene.
So I am at the airport in Brazil and I check out this smoothie outlet. The combination with honey, papaya, milk and I don't know what else sounds delicious. There's this guy in yellow at the cashier and I see another person in the area behind the window, who I assume is the cook. OK, one person to handle the money, the other to prepare the stuff. So I order my drink. And to my dismay the same guy who is at the cashier, who you see in the photo, immediately heads over to the mixer area to prepare my drink. Oh no, here we go. But what does he do next? He washes his hand - like civilized people do! Because he is going to prepare food.
Thank you Jesus.
Then I tell myself, I have to get a photo to record this lovely moment. I step back to take a photo and the guy who was busy preparing the drink realizes I am taking a photo, so he turns around, does the thumb up sign and breaks into this big smile. So cute.
If it were the French, the guy would have probably swore or grumbled, or been a jerk, aside from already having put his filthy, grubby hands - that he never washes after handling money - on the fruits of my drink. Which means that I would have never ordered it in the first place.
Different every day, but these are the ingredients for this day.

After the little photo shoot yesterday, my mom made fruit smoothies. Anna seemed to really enjoy hers.
As I was making this smoothie, it struck me how the blender looked liked I had taken a chunk of my lawn and a handful of dirt and thrown it in the blender. This is actually kale, pea shoots, cacao, carob, green stevia and maca powder... I added a zucchini, 1 tbsp of sprouted almond butter, 1 tbsp of coconut and water. Pretty good!
Kathya made this using: yoghurt, pomegranate juice, bananas, frozen raspberries, milk. It matched my knitting! :)
Morning smoothies are a great start to the day, mix fresh leaf spinach and a good protein (I use a mix of Pea and
