This morning on the Today show, one of the guests (don't ask me who -- I have no memory for celebrity names) brought their "green drink" to show the viewing world. That's all it took to motivate me to make one for my breakfast. I generally don't like cold drinks during the winter, but it looked so tasty that I quickly overcame my aversion to anything cold. So I looked at what I had available in the fridge and put it into my Magic Bullet. Ah...just right for taste. It was a small amount and fit perfectly in the glass that our son got at the All Pints North Brew Fest. I was just about to start taking the photos for this post, when I spilled it on the table. So, I decked the halls and the table with green. I quickly snapped the photos anyway so you could witness the start of my day. Then I scraped it back into the glass and enjoyed every sip!! Wow....I have missed my green juices and vow to have them regularly, cold weather or not. Besides, it is a glistening, relatively warm (25 degrees) Pzazz of a day here in Duluth.
