Tomato/Spinach Smoothie

I've been not eating the greatest -- though I haven't gained weight, thank god -- since I got married. I'm not thrilled with how we've been eating, but it's so much easier to grab a pizza and spend the evening together than to spend an hour cooking before we eat. (It's also been difficult because I don't have most of my usual cooking tools anymore.)

Well, game over on that one. My face looks super bloated and I'm tired a lot more than I used to be. Add getting a cold this week? Something is up and it's a lack of healthy eating.

Earlier this week, we bought a Ninja -- it's a blender/food chopper/processor thing and I'm in love with it. We've been having smoothies (healthy ones, not the sugary kind) every night and I've been eating a lot more vegetarian food now that I have the processor. I think we're going to cook together more so that it becomes something fun, rather than something we do because we have to.

Anyway, today Ian went into work for a bit and I decided, while he was gone, that I wanted to munch on some veggies. After dishes, I'd changed my mind. I didn't want a salad with feta and vinaigrette. No, no. I wanted a smoothie.

A savory smoothie.

I'm still drinking it as I write this. It's not something you gulp -- maybe I should have processed the veggies first. Didn't, and it's not completely a liquid. I CAN swallow it without chewing, but the parsley really shines when I chew a bit.

Anyway, I took pictures. As long as we're trying out new things, I figured I'd post some on my blog, since I haven't been much for writing other stuff lately.
