Day 9 Love Your Greens

We have been dared to try dandelion greens but I am going to wait till I can get to LifeSource because I know for sure they have chia seeds and they are having a food fair on Saturday.  What a great excuse to get out of the house! 

For those of you who may be curious LifeSource is a locally owned health food store in Salem, OR.  It is probably comparable to Whole Foods but a little smaller.  I use to work next door to it- at the party supply store.  I wish now that I would have taken time to learn more about health and nutrition but alas I was a very poor college student who lived off of Top Ramen and bummed food off of friends which was usually pizza or spaghetti or burritos. 

Any way, on to the challenge.  Today will be a short post.  I thought I had run out of pineapple and was seriously thinking of going into the nearest town to get a fresh one, but I could justify the gas.  So to the dinky Aumsville Market I went for some canned stuff only to come home and realize I put the pineapple  in the box I keep the next day smoothies in.  Silly me- being all prepared.  The kids liked having extra pineapple any way.  The smoothie today was called Tropical Orange Heaven.  Here is the recipe- water, spinach and kale mix, 1 mango, half cup of pineapple, and the juice of 2 oranges plus I went a little off the recipe and added 5 slices of frozen oranges.  Very yummy!  After butchering the mango I had to Youtube how to cut one up.  I felt like an idiot because that is how my mom cut them up all the time.  I just didn't realize there was a reason- there is a huge pit inside!  I also looked up how to cut a pineapple whenever I decide to get a fresh one.  For right now I will stick the with the canned or frozen in the bag variety. 

Oh I will post this just because:
