I started making green smoothies this week. We were able to go into town to the grocery store a few days ago, and I bought some spinach and a bunch of fruit to make smoothies (I have a cool single serve blender
). I just drank my second one, while sitting out here in the sunshine today, and I'll just say today's tasted better than yesterday's! If any of you have any delicious smoothie suggestions, I'd love to hear them! I guess I'm on a bit of a "health kick" lately -- smoothies and other healthier food choices, natural homemade detergents and such. Really, it's a combination of wanting to be healthy, save money, and live simply. I've always been aware of those things, but I think being married puts it all in a new light. I'm not just taking care of myself anymore. There's a husband and, someday, children to think about (don't worry, that's not happening anytime soon!). That's giving me a new perspective of the lifestyle I want for myself and my family -- and the best time to start is now, right?!
The other news around here is that camp is in full swing! Today our 4th retreat group of the spring season is here. We have a couple more retreats before Counselor Orientation begins, and then it's full speed ahead into summer camp season! Soon our summer staff (counselors, wranglers, maintenance help, etc) will be arriving from all over the United States. I'm excited to meet everyone!
And on the topic of summer staff.... we're still in need of a nurse for the month of June, a couple of girl counselors, a videographer, and a girl wilderness camp counselor. Please contact me ASAP if you know anyone interested in serving in one of these roles at a Christian summer camp in Alaska!
Yay, for the great choices! I'm glad. We use fresh pineapple and white grapes as most of our fruit. We also throw in a few blueberries because they are so good for you. The rest of the sweetness comes from stevia. You have to be careful on too much fruit, becuase that sugar adds up fast and is just as bad for yeast. Throwing in a couple of pinches of chia seeds is a way to add great nutrition, too...and a small spoonful of organic coconut oil....super healthy. I put both of those in mine.
ReplyDeleteI just found a new Kashi bar I really like for a little healthier snack for this trip. ....so I won't eat cookies and ice cream! It's Chocolate, Almond, and Sea Salt with Chia. It has a little chocolate, but is a little more salty than sweet.
