At my job they are used to seeing me walk in with my morning green smoothie. When they ask me (with coffee cup in hand) about it, I say with a smile “this is my version of coffee, it gives me all the energy I need!” They have been getting increasingly interested in my smoothies. […]
Raw Food Challenge: Day 3
Preparation Today is raw food challenge day three. It is interesting because usually I eat mostly raw during the day so I didn’t really expect to see much difference.
