Life of Wry

I’m a smoothie-a-day person. Around here, they’re known as smoofies, don’t ask me why. I guess smoofie has become my own little endearment for a concoction I look forward to with excitement each and every time I make one (as I said, nearly daily).

Anyway. My formerly trusty blender gave up the ghost a couple weeks ago… I wore the damn thing right out. So we finally took the leap and bought a Vitamix. I think it is a good investment. This thing is so powerful, my smoothie’s done in like 6 seconds (I like them crunchy). Seriously, push the button and the ingredients swirl and fold together in an instant. It’s quite a sight.

Today was smoofie #3. Same formula for a while now (though they have evolved over the years): 3 cups of ice, 2 cups of water, 1 banana, 1/2 cup of blueberries, 1/2 cup of applesauce, and a large scoop of chocolate protein powder. More or less. For the time being, I’m forgoing the chocolate chips, peanut butter and honey, though I miss those ingredients! Trying to bring my weight back down to normal (and have a long way to go), so being sensible. It still tastes great to me.

PIctured above and below is the inaugural smoofie.

[Note: After posting this, WordPress offered three blogs with similar themes — as they do — and provided a link to a blog I wrote on June 6th of 2016.. the night of the California primary, as a matter of fact. The subject was smoothies, and included was a list of ingredients I used back then for my daily smoothies (interesting). Also, I used the same endearment when referring to my smoothie. Seems I’ve been calling them smoofies for a very long time!]
