Happiness in a Glass

It's been a little while since I made one of my happiness shakes, so I figured it was time again. Had to run out to Zellers yesterday to pick up a blender.

This shake is really simple to make, is super-yummy, uber-healthy, and is a real 'pick-me-up' first thing in the morning. It really is happiness in a glass.



Ingredients:

• medium banana
• 1/2 cup frozen berries (I used strawberries today)
• 1/2 cup plain or vanilla yogurt
• 1/2 cup milk (skim milk is yucky, I use 1%)
• 1/2 cup ice
  
• large handful of washed baby spinach
• 1 tbsp fiber supplement (I use fiber-sure) (optional)
  

Directions:

• throw everything but the spinach in the blender
• turn on the blender till everything's the same color
• throw spinach in the blender
• repeat

The end result was a little bit brownish, it probably could have used a few more strawberries, but it was really yummy!

It's Not All Doom and Gloom!

Being happy is very important to me. Being content. Being hopeful.

What's not important? Being perfect.

There's no such thing anyway. Learning that everything in the world is not black or white, right or wrong, has been great for my self esteem.

Bask in the beautiful sea of gray, savor the sweetness of 'maybe'.

Let 'should' and 'shouldn't' and 'should have' take a flying leap off a cliff!
