Blueberries

We've talked about getting a blueberry bush for three or four years and finally got one. It even produced a few edible ones in it's first season. A few for us and the rest for some backyard critter.

Going Green

I felt like I could put a little more effort into getting our five-a-day so we tried a new green smoothie recipe. This one had 2 cups spinach, 2 cups watermelon, 1 banana, 1 cup raspberries, and 1 stalk of celery with 1/2 cup water if needed. I got the recipe from this site. 

So my review is that it was okay - I thought it was about what you'd expect a concoction like this to taste. Mostly sweet because of the fruit with a bit of salty bitterness from the veggies. I think making this in the summer with cold, sweet watermelon would help. The surprise came when my young children LOVED it.That makes it grade A in my book. 

We have a few others to try and even though I love veggies and eating a good salad, I really dig drinking my recommended servings through a straw.
