Saturday and Sunday mornings always begin the same way in our home - making and drinking a vegetable juice. It is a ritual that I'm happy to say even my kids enjoy. At first they were not happy with the thought that they are drinking carrot/celery/broccoli/beet juice but after they tried it they realized that the taste is wonderful (because I also put apples, grapes, pomegranates in it). Anyway, that was what I offered Sharon the first morning she woke up in our home. You can see by her pretty smile that my beet juice was good. It gave us super powers for the day too.
But that was not all. On regular days I make green smoothies, because they are faster and easier to create and give super powers too. I just love to see the reaction people have when they hold a bright green drink in their hand. Of course, my dear guest was no exeption. I eased her into it, making the most delicious smoothie from bananas, peaches, spinach, and almond milk. I added a few dates to make it super sweet too.
Don't you love the how her eyes tell the story? At first she was unsure... but quickly her face lit up and we enjoyed green drinks every day. Of course, I didn't expect a different reaction. First because it is taste, second - because Sharon does not fear anything. Make her tell you how she caught a shark! She really did.
There are so many things I want to show... They will wait for some other post, because I have to go and pretend that I'm in pain. WHY?
I cut my finger while preparing juice this morning. My husband got a knife sharpener from Santa and he is on a mission to have the sharpest knives on the planet. Now I'll go and make sad faces showing my poor finger so that he will suffer and be extra cuddly today.
