Green and Smooth

This morning on our walk Barbara was extolling the virtues of green smoothies and I am intrigued - well, she is a nutritionalist, so she knows what she is talking about. You drink a quart of green smoothie a day (collard greens, kale and spinach, carrot, turnip and beet tops, and fruit so you can choke it down) and there is a spring to your step, you feel and sleep better and you lose weight (as well you might, since a quart is going to fill you up). I have a blender - maybe not the Vitamix 4500 Turbo which is $320 on the internet, I checked - but it's a start. This is the silly season after all.
