That's some serious antioxidants, phytochemicals, and omega-3s you've got going on there, Steph. Go on with your nutrition-having self.

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2013: That Was the Year That Was
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Thanksgivukkahmas, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. Out you go, 2013!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Well, for as much as I say I'm going to add more veggies to our meals, my follow-through on that is kind of crap. So this seems like a good way to at least get in a serving of veggies.

Steph, or anyone else, do you just eat the smoothie? I've tried a few times but my tummy tends to want actual solid food or it doesn't believe there's been breakfast.

So far (the past 2 days) have been days where I wasn't even hungry for breakfast until 10:30. It's pretty filling to me; it's almost 3 hours later and I'm not ready for lunch.
But it might be different on a day when I wake up starving. I expect I'd probably have something else with the smoothie in that case, like oatmeal or a couple of eggs.

My breakfast is just the smoothie, but Pete has toast with his.

Jilli, have you tried coconut oil in yours? If so, does it change the texture appreciably? (If not, ignore this.)

I haven't. I use a spoonful of the Cocao Bliss stuff, which has some coconut oil in it, but not enough to make a difference, IMO.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I loved coconut oil in mine when I was doing them. SO yummy. I also used chia seeds which get bigger in your tummy and fill you up more. Or so the legend goes. I choose to believe I have a massive Chia pet growing in my belly.

Aims, did you melt the coconut oil into liquid first, or would that be pointless and silly, since I'm going to toss it into a blender with cold milk and frozen fruit, thus re-solidifying it?

I just spooned it out and threw it in. There were a couple of times it went in liquid because it was summer and it melted and it made no difference.
