I have a pretty solid morning routine around here. I trash Cooper’s old take-out containers, crank Violet’s thermostat to 74 degrees, dim Pete’s mood lighting, arrange Sam’s books and grab Naomi’s coffee. Oh – And, make Addison’s smoothie…
Yep – Ever since Addison showed up, I’ve had to make this crazy green drink for her. Every morning. She says it “detoxifies, energizes and stimulates.” And, according to the comments on this very blog, a lot of you want to know exactly what’s in this thing. Okay, then. I’m gonna give you what you want:
OWG Fruit Smoothie
½ cup apple juice
½ cup pineapple juice
1 shot of wheat grass
½ kiwi
½ banana
½ mango
¼ cup water (or as needed for appropriate consistency)
Throw everything into a blender and blend. Then pour yourself a glass and get ready to be detoxified, energized and stimulated. You’re well on your way to being a world class neonatal surgeon yourself.
