Green Smoothies

Many of us have been inspired by Aubrey to start drinking green smoothies (part fruit, party green leafy vegetables). I thought we should have a space to share our new combinations.

If you have not tried one yet, I highly recommend it. You can see even my 3 year old Anya likes them now.

What I'm Cooking This Week

Molly had a great idea for all of us to share the recipes, snacks, smoothies, etc that we are trying on a weekly basis.

So, what on your menu this week?

Upcoming 5K's

We have one 5K down! Six of us completed the Sharin O' The Green 5K on March 13 and had a great time.

Molly has put together the following list of upcoming 5K's. Comment and let us know if you're in. You can complete a 5K at any ability. Most of our group walked the Sharin O' The Green, so you do not have to run them.
