Top 5 reasons we believe in green smoothies:

1. DELICIOUS
2. EASY
3. INFUSES YOU WITH HAPPY/ENERGY/HEALTH
4. EASY CLEAN UP (RINSE OUT BLENDER)
5. DON'T HAVE TO THINK ABOUT FOOD PREP OR FOOD PERIOD.

Stacy's Favorite raw green smoothie:

watermelon
parsley
three dates
frozen banana
lime
dash of salt
(if need be teaspoon of coconut oil)

Yeah. Great. I love green smoothies too-

But DAMN GINA...I'm HUNGRY!!!!!!!

OK...am embracing the hunger. It's good to feel, right? (doing my lamaze breathing)

(INSERT CLEVER RETORT HERE)

OKAY - the truth? I'm exhausted and would love nothing better than to curl up on the couch w/ a pitcher of wine and a bag of those baked nacho cheese chips that Trader Joe's has. (I could eat two or three bags of those and still not hit the cal/fat content of one of those stupid raw cookies.) No, it's good we're doing this smoothie fast. AND I wish we could start some other day - after the past couple of weeks - I just wanna VEG.

A SMOOTHIE FAST SOUNDED GOOD ON SATURDAY - now it sounds stupid.

Jill Nipper August 30 at 6:31pm

ok...I'm in....but we told everyone...

I could post a picture of a rain storm with a title that says

"SMOOTHIE FAST POSTPONED DUE TO RAIN DELAY"

Jill Nipper August 30 at 6:32pm

NO CHIPS THOUGH...

Stacy McQueen August 30 at 6:36pm

for one split second - I THOUGHT you were saying that we get to have wine AND chips -

and.... for one split second i experienced pure and utter joy.
pure
and
utter.

It doesn't matter anyway - I don't have any wine.
and
i'm too tired to go out and get it.

Wait...

No, I'm not.

Jill Nipper August 30 at 6:42pm

Sorry but no - no chips.

All I am is a bad influence......


I could put up a construction sign and write as a title:

"SMOOTHIE ROAD CLOSED, DETOUR ROUTE COMING."

Stacy McQueen August 30 at 6:45pm

No - we should do smoothies. It's okay. i'll feel better blah blah blah

Jill Nipper August 30 at 6:48pm

So you weren't serious about delaying the fast? Now I'm looking at an F'n smoothie for dinner??



oh the let down of it all.......

Stacy McQueen August 30 at 6:51pm

i think it's kinda funny that we are so quick to give it up. i love that you are all ready to jump off with me.

No, we should stick w/ it because i don't have
any wine but honestly i'm so over raw at this moment.

i just realized I was like
what could i have that would be THAT good?
Last night i was sooo tired and chopped and did all this work for sushi... only to be like eh. it was okay at best.

So I could eat a salad or i can have a green smoothie. it's just... eh to me right now.

Jill Nipper August 30 at 6:53pm

So what then?

Stacy McQueen August 30 at 7:01pm

i don't know

Jill Nipper August 30 at 7:06pm

God I want to have wine and watch Moulin Rouge....I even have a tray of bok choy and mushrooms left from last night.

Stacy McQueen August 30 at 7:08pm

ya know what... screw it. i'm going to get wine. i'm going to clean for a few hours and then i'm going to watch lord of the rings. let's start tomorrow.

Wait. No I'm not. I don't have time to veg.

that's the bottom line.

so... are you sitting there with Bok Choy in your mouth reading this?
