Smoothie operator




So, I've been really into smoothies lately. It's summer, it's hotter than blazes in my old house with no central air conditioning, and I just don't want to cook. Therefore, it's been the summer of the smoothie experiment. Most mornings, I take whatever fruit combinations I have in the house, add a few ingredients like yogurt, juice, protein powder and flax seeds, and whir it up.

Today's smoothie: Blackberries, banana, blackberry yogurt, flaxseed and dark chocolate protein powder. Hey, it looked pretty for the "before" photo shoot. The actual taste? Meh, I'll give it a C, maybe a C+. The blackberries are so seedy that the end result felt a bit too gritty for my tastes. Regardless, I got a nutritious breakfast and my blender did all the work. And that just means there's room for improvement for tomorrow's attempt. I'm looking at you, fresh peaches.
