Smoothies

After work I usu go to the gym or yoga.  Then I go home and have a quick smoothie.  This accomplishes a few things.  Taking the deciding out of dinner makes it quick and easy, yet nutritious.  Also, I can just stash my fruit and protein powder out of the way in cabinet and freezer so I don't get in my aunt and uncle's way.  They are awesome, but I just want to be non invasive as possible.  I am not easily tempted to eat junk.

The biggest benefit though, is due to my tummy issues, having a clean smoothie with some fruit, non dairy milk (almond, coconut, rice) and some vegan protein and it is easy on my tummy.  I am guilty of both helping my aunt and uncle eat more nutritious smoothies, I have also given them some goodies from my local bakery near my retirement home.  But, the smoothies are a winner with them and that is what my uncle asks for almost every night.  He loves some frozen strawberries and some frozen bananas just blended - he likes it like ice cream and it is better for him.

Today I am turning in a large project I did for my freelance work.  I am glad to have it over with and eager to see how it is received.  Today is the day I remind DH to change out the hummingbird feeder nectar.  I saw on the internet that when the weather gets above 85, it needs to be changed every couple of days.  It is amazing how they seem to know when we put fresh nectar out. 

Happy (hummingbird?) hump day!
