I'm tracking my food intake for the sole purpose of making sure I get enough fiber
Green smoothies. They are some sort of crazy dark magic
What do you put in them?
You're going to say kale. I know it.

The status is NOT quo.
Yay for cap and gown!!!
Boo for all the other bad news. My bad news isn't as bad, but I'm at urgent care right now waiting to find out if I broke something in my foot or tore my plantar fasciitis. Dammit.

Congrats, Aims!
WRT fiber and lower intestinal health and whatnot, I cannot recommend enough trying to manage hemorrhoids, diverticula, and the like with diet, esp lots of fiber AND a good probiotic. My fiber intake is generally good because I love salads and cruciforms and eat lots of both. But even so my hemorrhoids would act up whenever my diet faltered. But now I'm taking a probiotic to counteract the long-term antibiotics I'm on, and lo and behold, no problems ever since I started them. I'm a convert.

Kale is the new oat bran, as Michael Pollan would say. I've read that asparagus is crazy good for you, and it's delicious. It does have the unfortunate stinky pee effect, but no veggie is perfect. Except of course the avocado.

Good probiotics are god. (I'm a hippie and make my own kombucha, which also seems to help.)
I've read that asparagus is crazy good for you, and it's delicious.
I have never developed a taste for asparagus. Virtually every other veggie, including brussels sprouts, but not asparagus.
I'm eating a giant salad for dinner (with avocado), so that should get my fiber for the day over the top.

Nope, haven't tried making kale smoothies yet, because Pete recoils in horror at the notion.
Smoothie recipe (serves 2): 2 C. almond milk (I use vanilla flavored), 2 C. raw spinach (sometimes a little more), 3Tbs. hemp protein powder, 1 tsp. Cacao Bliss ("good" fats, plus chocolate for antioxidants it's totally healthy shut up), and 1.5 C. frozen blueberries.
No spinach taste whatsoever. It looks like primordial ooze, but it's tasty.

I've eyed that Cacao Bliss before, but my worry is Franny will grab a spoon and eat the entire jar in one go. And then there would be none left for me.

Oooh, that's made from coconut butter, isn't it? Yum!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
God, "calm down" is probably the least helpful thing someone can say in a crisis.
If you are not actively handing me an Ativan or some other friendly benzo, you do not get to tell me just, "calm down." However if I am freaking out and you do hand me an Ativan, it's perfectly acceptable. Because you did something useful.
I'm still pissed TJs stopped carrying those fruit leather things that had about a bazillion grams of fiber. Those were a godsend.
I feel like they betrayed me getting rid of those. And I can't find a replacement. I've searched everywhere.
And the oat-y bars they've rebranded as their Fiberfuls are not compatible with my tummy.
