I was so excited to get up this morning and make my first green smoothie in a long time. (When I was eating all raw foods I made many a green smoothie! 
) I put in the blender the following: 2 apples, 1 tbsp raw almond butter, unsweetened soy milk, and about 6 kale leaves with the spine removed. It was deeeelicious! I have never used kale in a smoothie before, and I was pleasantly surprised at the taste…not bad at all!
I gave some to my baby with agave nectar and more soymilk…she had like 2 swallows and was done with it! Oh well, maybe they will grow on her. I bought some frozen berries and bananas today so I will have more combinations to play with.
All that yummy food is what I got at the farmer’s market yesterday.. There is bok choy, local buckwheat honey (something else I plan to continue eating…oh the goodness), raw cacao nibs, homemade apricot jam, kale, kohlrabi, pumpkin walnut bread (not vegan but like I said…slow and easy transition and it is divine!) and some african orange mango tea i got from the health food store.
I have never had kohlrabi before and it was pretty good. Raw, it is mild and tastes like jicama but slightly radishy…cooked it tastes like whatever it is cooked in Texture like a potato but takes longer to get soft. I put it in a kale soup and it was nice
So for the rest of day I ate: an avocado, 3 dates, a little fruit salad, peanut butter banana, and then for dinner I made sweet potato french fries….drizzled them with olive oil, sprinkled on cinnamon and a little pink himalayan salt and baked them…oh YES SO GOOD!, sauteed zucchini, and wild caught salmon.
What a great day! Can’t wait for tomorrow…
