Another Smoothie Creation

The green monster smoothie has inspired me to try my hand at making more smoothies but still sticking with the green veggie concept. This past weekend I picked up some plain soy milk instead of vanilla and frozen pineapple chunks.
Here are the ingredients:

1 cup soy milk



4 ice cubes(from an ice tray)


8 frozen pineapple chunks


1/2 of a banana


1/2 cup spinach

The result was still green(see below) but it had a different taste. I enjoyed it and will make it again adding another 1/2 cup of spinach. I still want to get as much green veggies as possible in yeah know:-)

Wildfire Atlanta-1/2 off starters

Seems a lot of restaurants are doing this now to attract the after hour crowds. I guess it's a win win situation for the business owner and customer.
Here's a link to WildFire Atlanta for more information.

Green Smoothie-Part II

As I wrote yesterday my green monster smoothie was more like a purple monster smoothie(see previous post for pic) 
Today my hubbie made the smoothie(with full ingredients not half as I did yesterday) and well......shaking my head, his definitely looks more green than mine. Have a look for yourself

He did a great  job and it was still tasty! I will definitely be making this in the mornings at least for the next couple of weeks because my chocolate GNC Shake was getting a little boring AND this taste a little better.

Green Monster Smoothie?

I have heard so much about this smoothie that I decided I was going to get the ingredients this weekend and try the darn thing.
Welllll my green monster smoothie was more like a purple moster smoothie(see pic below).
I have to say that I only used half of each ingredient listed becasue my hubbie was already gone for the morning and I didn't want to end up with too much.
The smoothie was quite tasty. I didn't even taste a hint of the spinach which is what I most afraid of when setting out on this adventure. I am going to try again tomorrow without cutting the ingredients in half and see how I make out.

Here's the recipe:

2 cups spinach

1 cup silk vanilla light soy milk

1/2 cup blue berries,raw

1 banana

1/2 cup ice

I have seen different variations of this recipe so don't be surprised if you see it elsewhere changed up a little.

BONE HEADS-YUM!

Today I treated myself to a quiet lunch for one at Boneheads in the Perimeter. I have eaten here before but never blogged about it.
I went around 2:30pm so it was nice and quiet.
I had the grilled Salmon with the pineapple salsa. The sides were yellow rice and black beans with corn.

• Overall the food was good. The rice was a little dry.
• Service-Well you go up to the counter and order and then they bring the food to your table. The food came quick and I honestly can't even remember the person I ordered from.
• Price-Good $
• Interior-I would say maybe 6-8 booths and the rest are small tables. I was a little cold inside and had to put my coat back on.
• Would I go back? For sure.....although I dodn't order it this time  I really enjoy their shrimp soft tacos

Ohhh the only thing not good about going here is the parking. Should you fnd yourself there at lunch time you may have a difficult time finding a close parking spot. My office os close by so on warm days I walk over.

Let it snow let it snow let it snow.....Update

So if you didn't hear, it snowed here in Atlanta-yay!
I sooo enjoyed looking at the snow. In the area where I was it was not quite enough for a snow man but the kids I saw running around outside didn't care.
The ONLY down side was the next morning there was ICE everywhere. Most schools completely shut down.
People who did go into work including myself had a VERY slippery drive.

A road that normally takes me 10-15 minutes to travel on took about 45 minutes. Not only was I looking out for my car but I was looking to make sure the cars in front of me were not slipping and sliding all over the place.
Driving on ice is not fun at all!
The weather is calling for a light snow again this week.
We'll have to wait and see.
