N is for Nutrition

Woo Hoo! I am half way through the A to Z Blogging Challenge! The Challenge is more than just posting 6 days a week. It also means I have a responsibility to visit 5 blogs per day on the list of 2083 blogs participating in the Challenge. I am now #828 (started out at 905) so some people must have dropped out after I signed up.

I really struggled with what I was going to write about today. But then it hit me while I was making my morning smoothie--nutrition! Nutrition is such a big deal for people living with Fibromyalgia! I need to stay away from chemicals like MSG; night shade foods need to be eaten in moderation and sometimes not at all (tomatoes, potatoes, egg plant, peppers). Fresh and organic is almost always a winner for me.

We drink smoothies for breakfast frequently but recently my hubby was watching a demonstration at Costco for Vita Mix (we already have one so don't know why he was watching). The demonstrator was making a smoothie so hubby brought home the ingredients to make it. I think I have made a few additions to it but I do that with everything I make!

So my gift to you today is the recipe for this delicious smoothie!

Pineapple Citrus Smoothie

(4 servings but Hubby & I share it)

2 cups fresh pineapple

1 orange, peeled leaving the white

1 lemon, peeled leaving the white

1 lime, not peeled

1 apple

2 bananas

2 Tablespoons Hemp Seed Kernals

• Use blender to blend till smooth (might need to have heavy duty blender like Vita Mix)
• Add 10 ice cubes, one at a time.
• Enjoy--this tastes amazing!

Have a great day! Tomorrow is the letter O!
