I Love Being Green!

So this morning I made a green monster using Amazing Grass Wheat Grass, ricemilk, and bananas with the Vitamix and it was AMAZING!!!!!!  I had made green monsters with the Vitamix before but had used fresh spinach instead of the wheat grass powder.

SO SMOOTH!!!

I had disliked Amazing Grass Wheat Grass previously because of its gritty texture but a spin in the Vitamix makes it seem almost… dare I say… creamy ?

Look at that foam!!!

I honestly didn’t think that I would be able to finish my container of wheat grass but with the Vitamix, I will be buying more and more!

I also popped open my second bottle of Nature’s Way probiotics!

On sale too!

I was choosing between this bottle and the original one but the always helpful Whole Foods team recommended the former.  I was also contemplating purchasing the Attune probiotic chocolate bars but it’s just not cost efficient for me to spend $1.00+ per serving versus $0.18.

Do you take probiotics?  If so, what kind?

V is for…

Vibrams and Vitamix!

After reading Ashley, Sean and Crunchgear’s reviews, I was CONVINCED that I needed Vibram Five Fingers (VFFs) STAT!  So, I went to The Outdoor Store in Montclair and picked up a pair .

The sales associate in the store was extremely helpful and not pushy at all.  I was debating between the Bikilas and the Sprints but went with the former because it was more of a running shoe.  Truth be told, I was a little worried that the shoes would look too weird but the sales associate reminded me that I should choose the shoe based on function not looks.

My Vibrams!

I’m calling them my Keroppi shoes

Call me a huge dork but I was beaming when the sales associate told me that he’d never seen anyone put on those shoes as fast as I did .  He also told me to wear the shoes around the house for a few days before trying to run in them.  I will do a full review on these shoes after I test them out on the road but so far they are extremely comfortable. 

What’s completely ironic about my obsession with the Vibram brand is that I first heard of them in the Christian Louboutin section at The Purse Forum.  Many ladies who have purchased Louboutins also had their shoes resoled with Vibrams, which helps preserve the original sole and prevents the shoes from slipping.

My mom’s Vitamix also came in which I helped her order from Kristina’s Opensky store.

My mom wanted one so that she could make green monsters and other breakfast smoothies for my dad.  What are your favorite green monster recipes?

Anyways, last night I made Heather’s acorn squash stuffing and it was divine!

Mmmmm!

I still have half of a squash left so I’m planning on making Lea’s lentils and squash soup with it.

I’m so glad it’s finally fall!  What’s your favorite season? Also, I’d love to know your thoughts on Vibram Five Fingers shoes.  Would you ever consider buying them?
