Good morning
I hope your Monday is off to a good start. I actually had the exact same thing for breakfast that I did yesterday (green monster!) but today none of the photos decided to come out so here is a recycled picture from yesterday….I’m not feeling so hot today for some reason so I thought I needed something very green to start my week.
Sorry! I used the same combo of 1 frozen banana, 1 scoop Amazing Meal, tons of spinach, 1 cup milk, 1 T peanut butter and ice. No maca this morning; kept things simple. Okay, actually I forgot the maca. Haha
Today is your last chance to buy a ticket to enter the Garmin 705 giveaway! This lovely little gadget is retailed at around $500 so it’s definitely a HUGE steal and totally worth your time to buy a $5 ticket. You never know! I will be picking the winner this evening and I’d love to see some more people enter. I will enter your name on my spreadsheet after I see you buy a ticket on my Echelon Gran Fondo website and then the winner will be picked at random.
I have another fun raffle coming up later this week, too!

March 15, 2010 at 8:21 amWhen I make a shake using those ingredients, mine comes out HUGE – do you have more leftover than what is in that glass? I can never finish mine!

March 15, 2010 at 8:35 amI hope you’re able to nip whatever has you feeling icky in the bud. An extra dose of greens is always an excellent idea to keep the ole’ immune system functioning at optimum levels.

March 15, 2010 at 8:53 amI couldn’t wait to log on today and tell you about the little wine tasting I went to…I was so excited to see the list of wines b/c there was a Murphy Goode Fume Blanc on the list!! I felt like I “knew” the wine just from being the Jenna fan that I am:) To finally be able to taste this wine in little ol’ Fort Wayne, IN!! I bought a bottle, obvi:) and they’re getting the Merlot in soon. Can’t wait! Your tasting was way more fun, I’m sure, but my friends and I had a good time, too.
Thanks, Jenna!

March 15, 2010 at 9:31 amHope the Green Monster makes you feel better! I too always make way too much! I always put the extra into ice cube trays and freeze so that I can quickly add them to any concoction I am making!
Jenna, have you ever tried nutrilite bars? My daughter gave me a few and they were quite good! A few of the energy bars taste just like candy bars! Just wondering if you had tried them, and if you had, what you thought of them!

March 15, 2010 at 9:36 amI never tire of green monsters! Though sometimes I make them without spinach like on my b-day post! I added choclate chips-too good 🙂

March 15, 2010 at 9:41 amI was over on healthy tipping point not that long ago and she was talking about how she thought green monsters were a large part of healthy skin. Have you noticed this?

March 15, 2010 at 11:36 amWhen you have a green monster, do you have anything else for breakfast too or does it fill you up? I just had one yesterday for the first time ever and I can feel an addiction coming on!!

March 15, 2010 at 11:44 amBummer that you aren’t feeling well! I was sick last week, it was brutal. I’m finally feeling slightly better! Your green monster sounds excellent, I’ll have to make one for breakfast tomorrow. Love that you put it in a wine glass, looks so pretty!

March 15, 2010 at 12:03 pmMaca has a great reputation for its energy-boosting benefits (at least on Amazon.com reviews). Wonder if it’s true?

Kara
March 15, 2010 at 2:07 pmHope you feel better soon…question, does the Ninja crush the ice and mix up the GM faster than a blender? Mine struggles with my GM’s esp. when my bananas are frozen and blueberries too. Wondering if I should get a Ninja?

March 15, 2010 at 6:39 pmSadly I have no need for a Garmin – and as much as I’d LOVE to donate for charity …I have had to do so alot lately it seems…and , well, honestly $5 is a carton of milk and bread right now…so sorry – maybe soon – when I haven’t been cornered by others….there’s so much to give to I guess right? And yes, I KNOW I am lucky….but you gotta pick and choose…good luck to the winner though 🙂
