I’ve been craving a Smoothie In A Bowl for about 2 weeks now! FINALLY had all the ingredients I needed!

Including this new Vega Smoothie mix from the Summit Swag bag…..it’s incredible.

IMG_0817 (640x427) (2)

The Vita-Mix

  • 1 cup ice
  • 1 banana
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 big scoop Vega Cho-a-Lot
  • 1 giant handful spinach

Plus…..Pumpkin Chocolate Chip muffin from Great Harvest Warrenton!

IMG_0823 (640x427) (2) 

I crumbled about 1/3 of it on top

IMG_0825 (640x427) (2)

And a sprinkle of cereal on top

IMG_0837 (640x427) (2)

Cold-brewed coffee

IMG_0827 (640x427) (2)

IMG_0829 (640x427) (2)

After breakfast we all dressed and drove the Farmer’s Market (sadly no biking this week due to the extra company and flat tire on my bike 🙁 )

The market was wonderful as always and we spent $35 on the best produce money can buy (plus two pasture-raised chicken legs from Davis Creek Farm, our new favorite meat vendor and the friendliest folks at the market!)

    Mmm. Pumpkin chocolate chip muffins might be my favorite kind. My best friend’s mom used to make this amazingly rich chocolate chip pumpkin bread, and would make me extra loaves in college. They’re just the treat on a cold autumn afternoon, with a cup of hot coffee or tea. Can’t wait til autumn.

    Ohh, that is the first time I have seen pasture-raised meat! I just started reading a book called
    “Eating Animals” by Jonathon Foer and heard about it there but have never seen it. Sounds like the best bet. Has anyone else read that book?

      As a vegetarian and lover of all books food-related, I love that book and appreciate all the information it had. I thought it was so thoughtful- some of it so compelling, I was literally crying while I read it.

    A trip to the farmers market is always fun…does yours go all year round? We have quite a few farmers markets here where I live in CA and only one of them is open all year round.

    OK, is that Banjo man’s underwear that is showing? Too funny! I’d love to get to our Farmer’s Market here but the parking is crazy. I need one that I can walk or bike to as well.

    ps-did you happen to see my ps yesterday asking for other blogs to read for the “older mom of teens?” I’ll never, never stop reading yours (love it), but I bet you won’t be commenting often about high school, pre-menopause, etc. (So I’m older than you, but younger than your parents.)

    That spoon is gorgeous! Take your bike to your local bike shop for a fixin’…perhaps buy the tools and tube and have ’em give you a quick lesson. It’s super easy to do, and totally empowering in a miss-independent/miss-fix it/I can do anything kind of way. Just sayin’ 🙂

      Thanks Debbie.

      We just put the grounds in the french press and fill with cold water. In the fridge overnight and then press.

      Sadly our french press broke so we can’t do this anymore!
