I made the best green smoothie ever! A couple of months ago my children called any green thing the 'swamp' drink, now they got used to the color and even ask for it. If you haven't tried it, I encourage you to be brave and give it a shot. It is really extra tasty and the fact that it's healthy just adds to it. This particular smoothie is a mixture of frozen banana and mango pieces, chopped fuji apple and huge handful of kale. Blend it with a little water (I add a teaspoon of lecithin) and let me know if you liked it. Close your eyes if you can't stand the color...
You never know when inspiration will hit you.... Yesterday Hana came from school all happy, full of stories and funny tales. While she snacked on something and talked about her day I couldn't help but notice how beautiful she looks... and I had to try and capture it. Because it is my journal I wasn't worried how it will look, I planned to gesso over it in case it turned out horrible. It didn't. It doesn't look like her, but it captured a moment that I will treasure forever.

  1. Your journal and collage pieces are always amazing to me...you already know that..but I will tell you again! I often find myself trying to plan ways to remember moments captured in time too..especially now that I am a mom. (I can't try that drink..I have an aversion to mango.) :)

  2. I would love to try the drink but Kale isn't readily available here. Or maybe I just need to look harder. It actually sounds pretty good.

    Capturing your moment is beautiful. What fun.

  3. I lost a piece to my veggie juicer so this is a great tip. I never would have thought Kale would work in a blender.

  5. This drink looks delicious Zorana! Am not sure what Kale is though??
    I loved reading about how you saw your daughter and how you captured that feeling. You really are a beautiful soul and I know that she is a beautiful girl, inside and out...
