Good mornin’ FitFeat friends! Happy Thursday! Check out how well my little AeroGarden is growing!
I wonder how tall they’ll get! I love having something grow, even if all I had to do was add water and a tablet. Still makes me feel like my thumb at least has a ‘hint’ of green to it. Probably lime green, but that’s OK by me!
I really enjoyed the comments on my earlier post about Reducing & Reusing. Everyone had great comments and ideas. Joan from I’m In The Garden Today talked about reusing paper from finicky printers. Cindy from A Sparkle A Day mentioned purchasing things in bulk and then transferring to jars at home. Which prompted me to do that with mine too! While my leftover almond butter jars were sitting neatly next to my drinking glasses in the cabinet, my adzuki beans and quinoa where in the plastic bulk bags I’d brought them home in, complete with twist-ties! My good are movin’ on up like George and Weezy to their new dee-luxe digs:
This is one of the things I absolutely love about having started this blog. I LOVE that we all trade ideas and share experiences. Thank you all for the participation in this FitFeat community. To this day, I still get so excited when I receive an email alert that I’ve got a comment on a blog post. LOVE getting comments, so please keep ‘em coming! And if you’re a lurker, that’s ok too. I still love that you are here reading!

Here are a few highlights from yesterday’s healthy eats. Another jumbo green smoothie to start my day. This one contained the following:
- 9 oz water
- 1/2 banana
- 2 clementines
- medium handful of clover sprouts
- 1/2 of a very large cucumber
- 2 tbsp pepitas (raw pumpkin kernels)
- 1/2 tbsp white chia seeds
- 1 stalk celery
- large handful of baby spinach
- 1.5 tbsp hemp protein powder
I know a few of you are green smoothie drinkers. If you’re not, what’s holding you back? Is it how they look? I know they are scary LOOKING, but they do taste fantastic. Especially if you start with more fruit than greens, and then work your way to less fruit as you go along.
Lunch was a veggie wrap at my desk (and this time I actually took my camera to work so no BLURRY iPHONE pic here!)
- Whole wheat tortilla
- Smear of Tofutti (the UNcheese cream cheese)
- Shiitake mushrooms
- Tomato slices
- Baby spinach
- Clover sprouts
- Sprinkle of sea salt
It’s been a while since I’ve made a wrap – that was one of my “go to” lunches over the summer. I think I’d forgotten how lip-smacking awesome they were, so now I’ll probably be stuck in another wrap rut again.

Well friends, I’m off to get my lunch packed and scoot on out the door. Have a TOTALLY TERRIFIC THURSDAY!
