1. Just because I was up to the challenge, didn't mean my blender was. Nothing like drinking down a whole spinach leaf. "Liquefy" didn't exactly liquefy it all.
2. My stomach tells me it should take the place of a meal. My head tells me, I am way too young to be drinking my meals pureed.
3. I love peanut butter, however, I don't like smelling it while I'm drinking. The color, the smell, and the texture of this smoothie are enough to confuse any food connoisseur into thinking this thing would be disgusting.
4. Emma, bless her heart, has a love for cooking even when it isn't something that she has an interest in eating herself. I thought for sure she only loved to be in the kitchen because of the taste test at the end. Though she did nibble some spinach while our smoothie blended, she wasn't brave enough to actually taste our finished product.
The verdict...It really does taste great. It was filling, refreshing, and healthy. Now if only my blender will keep up, I would like to experiment with some new green monster concoctions.
As for the end of week 2 of my resolutions...running...6 miles. Still a mile behind where I was aiming (and further behind for making up my 3 missed miles from last week), but I did yoga one night this week and at least I'm moving in the right direction. As for the menu this week...orange-soy salmon with brussel sprouts -courtesy of IGE (tell you tomorrow how this tasty dish turns out), fettuccini, pizza burgers, chicken cordon bleu, and grilled cheese/tomato soup. Plus, I completed my "one thing a month to improve our marriage" this week. No details on this one as I'm sure Mark prefers staying off the blog, but it makes me feel good knowing I'm paying more attention to our marriage.

Tony has been riding his bike in the morning (inside)- so I made him the smoothie this morning-- I think I confused him! He didn't know whether to drink his coffee or drink his smoothie... and it probably messed his whole day up :)
I liked it... I still ate cereal and I brought it with me to school. It definitely kept me full until lunch (I usually have fruit 3rd hour). I'll make it again, but I think Tony's portion may have to wait until after work :)
