Green Monster

I've started the experimentations with the beloved green monster. What is a green monster you ask? It's your choice of any green leafy vegetable mixed in with something sweet and tasty! I've been intrigued by the different recipes so I knew I had to give it a go.

Mine this morning started off with about two cups of spinach



Then about 1/4 of a cup of oj

Then some grapes

A dash of cinnamon and some ice and I blended away.

Verdict: YUM! I like the texture and I like the sweetness that the orange juice and grapes give.

[Oh, I also put ground flaxseed in it for the omegas.]

I'm loving the green monster, I like being a part of the process, so putting in the fresh ingredients individually makes my heart happy. I liked seeing the spinach turn into a creamy delicous treat. Sorry for the lack of personal pictures, I made it super early this morning and had to rush of to work on this rainy morning!

To add to this delightful week, yesterday I finished the book of Matthew in the NT. I'm so happy I read it because I learned so much and I had no idea what I was missing out on. Since I finished that, I've decided that my next read will be Champagne for the Soul! This book was given to me on Sunday from Ro, Matthew's mom. : ) I'm really excited about it and I so far love it! The book is all about joy...my favorite topic!

I'd love to hear about people's thought on joy, do you think you have joy? What brings you joy and does it come and go?

I'll be updating my thoughts and feelings on the book, so far it's a GREAT read!
