Last summer I tried a raw  food diet. Wish I could say it made a miraculous difference in my  health, but that wasn't the point. Having food allergies, my diet is a  lot better than the typical American diet anyway. I just wanted to add  more veggies. 
Winter came and I just got too cold. So this is the first smoothie of the year! 
All I had was an organic banana, no fresh greens or anything like  that. So armed with a banana, some brown rice protein, rice milk, ice  cubes, and a sprinkle of cocao nibs, I had lunch! And just when I took  the first sip I realized - you know what I forgot? Cinnamon! Oh, well. I  have the rest of spring and summer, and possibly fall, to make more.
 I really like food so it probably seems odd that I could be so  content and emotionally and physically satisfied with one of these  things, but I am. It makes me want to smile.
