Magic Bullet in Action
This week, I’ve been having smoothies for breakfast. Not only are they delicious, I’m probably finally getting something near my RDA of fruit– before this, I used to eat maybe one fruit a week on average. Not that I don’t like fruit, it’s that shopping for produce is a bitch. For smoothies, however, you only need frozen fruit, which you can get from Trader Joe’s (I particularly like theirs because they are unsweetened, preservative-free, and the strawberries don’t look force ripened). I wonder if there’s a nutritional difference between frozen and unfrozen fruits?
Anyhow, the agent of this change in my habits is the Magic Bullet blender that arrived sometime last week. I use it almost exclusively for making breakfast smoothies and yogurt-cookies-whiskey concoctions for after dinner snacks, but I imagine I could find many other uses for it. Besides that, it looks very cute sitting on the counter. Here are some pics I took the first time I used it:

Smoothies! Yech! How about some bacon and eggs? At least you’ll get some protein, and avoid blood sugar swings that leave you starving by 10 am, scrounging for more sweets.
Still, the magic bullet does look awful cute.

I’m confused. Are you suggesting that I make a bacon and egg smoothie? That’s so nassssty. I hope you mean bacon and eggs for breakfast. That’s a weekend thing for me. During the rest of the week, it’s Cheerios (and the smoothie :)) so I don’t feel too bad eating higher cholesterol meals for dinner or lunch.
