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.

My doctor told me that green is very good for health. Anything that is green is very beneficial if taken in exact quantity. I drink green tea, green coffee. eat spinach, and broccoli.

I agree! Kale, spinach, and broccoli are found in abundance in my recipes. Tonight, I savored my sweet potato and kale soup for supper. It is one of my favorites. My daily goal is to have at least one serving of healthy greens. Thanks for your comment and stay-tuned for more ideas.
