today's smoothie was a whole bunch of dandelion leaves and because they have such a bitter medicine-like taste, i added some ginger, a pear and frozen banana and sampled it and then added frozen mango and an apple too! eek! but it worked! we had these this afternoon and i think dandelion would be better in the morning. just a thought.

i somehow forgot to take a photo of my parsley smoothie this morning! for me and paul, i had just over a cup of filtered water with about 2/3 of a huge bunch of parsley, a few remaining leaves of romaine, a sprinkle of frozen mango chunks, 1 anjou pear and 1 frozen banana.

guess i'll just have to add some other photos instead!

so... first... a pleasant surprise when i went for tea this morning at delany's and learned i could get an unsweetened green tea latte with soy. they leave out the vanilla syrup and it is truly unsweetened (unlike starbucks whose matcha still is sweetened. as an aside, anyone remember when starbucks used to add that wretched "melon"-flavoured syrup to their matcha? ech!). and i actually got soy when i ordered it. hurrah!

and now my lunch today. such a treat to get to be home for lunch! it's nice getting to make food for paul too ^_^ so this salad is: collard greens, kale, red cabbage, beet, red onion, radish, carrot, basil, and avocado with (cold-pressed) flax oil and fresh squeezed lemon. yum!

day 10 of 30 green smoothie days in a row

today's smoothie was a bit of romaine lettuce, collard greens, frozen banana and mango.

food highlights of today include grabbing a gluten-free cookie sandwich with friends at edible flours...

i can't believe that i can eat things here. paul thinks that i just buy treats for him (which i do - today i got him a donut, cinnamon roll and "cheese" croissant) and then have to watch people eat. but look at this sign! the icing filling was sweetened with agave and the cookie is made with quinoa/white rice/almond/tapioca flours... all flours i can have on my limited food sensitivity diet! hurrah!

 this cookie is a bit much (at least 2x too much) for one sitting but well, that didn't stop me from eating the whole thing. we all just craved vegetables afterwards!

so we went for some groceries at greens market. i haven't been in awhile and really have to go more often! we couldn't believe the different products that we don't see downtown at whole foods. ha. we're food nerds. but seriously. cultured almond milk yogurt (from amande)?  and raw "bagels" (homegrown living foods) that i previously only found at buddha-full? and raw crackers i hadn't seen before (foods alive)! and organic avocados 2 for $2! excitement!

p.s. emma - can you see the zimt? ^_^
