Green Smoothies

I bought a blender on amazon and it arrived in ONE day! Pretty amazing right? We somehow live in a world where we can go online, find a product in our price range, and read reviews on it so we know we'll be getting something descent... And then without more than a few finger taps... It's on your doorstep in less than 48 hrs. Woa!

I've been wanting a Vitamix blender for a couple of years, but Matt has talked some sense into me as I own EVERY other appliance that a Vitamix can replace (each one a gift), other than a blender... So I ordered a blender... That doesn't cost $600, but 1/10th that :)

... Now, that was only AFTER I tried to use our quisinart mixer/chopper as if it were a blender and somehow sprayed smoothie on the counters, ceiling, and yes... Violet (in my defense, she was standing awfully close) :) 

As soon as we got home tonight and saw the box on our doorstep, I opened it, washed it, and made our first smoothie! 

I should back up a bit and explain why I ordered a blender in the first place. I've been wanting to make smoothies for a while for both Violet and I. A way to increase our superfood intake in a yummy way :) Smoothies full of goodness like kale, coconut milk, super fruits, spinach, etc. 

So I made Violets first 'green smoothie' and it was a hit (for both of us)! Fresh kale, a frozen banana, a fresh nectarine, raspberry yogurt, and coconut milk :) Yuuuummmm!!! I must admit, as much as Violet loved it, she's still our water drinker :) After about 5 sips, she kept reaching for the cabinet saying 'wawa! Wawa! Peeaassee!' Love this girl ❤

Ps - this baby loves seaweed, too!
