Green Apple Pie Smoothie

smoothie1

I wanted to come up with a healthy apple pie tasting smoothie and this one is pretty good.  

3 cups raw spinach

1 cup full fat organic yogurt

¼ c. water (that dates were soaking in)

½ cup apple sauce (no sweetener)

¼ cup pecans

½ T chia seeds

1 tsp cinnamon

½ tsp ginger

1/2 T. honey

2 soaked date (w/o pit)

1 T. hemp protein powder

My own recipe

Analyzing this I would be better off calorie and sugar wise to do 1 T. honey and no dates.  I used myfitness pal to come up with the totals on this smoothie.  It looks kind of scary but was very yummy and satisfying.

Please Don’t Spray

I live on top of a hill in a small town.  It was a gorgeous day with a nice breeze so all of my windows were flung open.

While working at my computer I started to feel numbness in my face and began wondering what I was exposed to or might have eaten to cause the sensation.  It wasn’t long until I realized there was a chemical smell permeating my home.  I quickly ran to each window to see what was going on outside.  And there I spotted it over a half a block away below my home a yard was being sprayed by a riding sprayer.  I quickly closed my windows grumbling as I did so.   This was 4:30 pm when my husband came home at 5:30 pm he could still smell the chemicals in our house and said it was even worse outside.  In a few hours the smell dissipated and I was able to open the windows to air out the house.
