Don't enjoy your rewards until they are enjoyable.
Every morning after drinking two cups of coffee while allowing my B&G Macaw to eat his breakfast I check my email and notifications to set aside anything important that needs to be worked after "ME" time has been extinguished. The next thing I do is enjoy a delicious smoothie made from fresh organic fruits of my choosing. You can see I refuse pick the fruit if it's not ripe, my morning depends upon it. I simply guess at which combination will satisfy my senses and if one recipe is particularly delicious I tend to remember these combinations.
This is the first recipe that really has me excited about making smoothies, It has a sweet taste at first and than a sour blast after the first three second. I think I will call it the "Pine-Sour Blast". I really like this Ninja blender because it crushes the ice really effectively compared to my old blender that didn't do so well. If you are going to make smoothies often it's worth it to invest in a quality blender that can handle ice because ice is the key along with the right ingredients.
I have been making Ice Blended Coffee drinks and really enjoying these on a hot after noon, especially compared to going to Starfucks and spending my life savings. I simply make an extra cup of coffee in the morning and store it for when I'm ready.
I have been enjoying daily smoothies for a few weeks now and it's a great way to pick up an extra meal during the day and especially the one meal during the day that I am not ready for. Normally I would start my day after coffee with nothing else in my stomach and this is just not a good way to continue the day for me anymore. I take an extra 20 minutes after a shower to make a tasty beverage and relax on the porch and contribute to my possibility of having a great day and so far this has improved my mood through the day, especially since the weather has gotten so hot.
The finished product is beautiful and delicious and gives me a reason to slow down and enjoy the feeling until it's time to eat a full meal. I enjoy shopping for fruit now when I go shopping now too and this practice has me enjoying eating more fresh fruit during the day too as well as eating raw greens at night.
I am 46 now and am learning that I am not a 20 year old kid that can eat and live like there is no tomorrow, It's not a great thing to lose my youth but with the wisdom and learning I have acquired over the years I enjoy things in a different way from when I was younger. I won't lie, I don't enjoy life more than when I was 20, these times are impossible to beat but I can do the best possible favor for myself and treat my diet as something important. Please join my discord for open discussions on the topics of your choosing and I thank you for your continued support.
