In the beginning...

Just in the last week I've begun drinking "Green Monster" Smoothies.  I've never been really good at getting in all my fruits and veggies, and thanks to my new obsession with Pinterest, I found Green Smoothies.  Now for breakfast I drink my fruits and vegetables.  Thanks to some of the recipes that I've found, I picked up something called Chia seeds.  After soaking a Tablespoon of them in a cup of water, I add them to my smoothie.  It keeps me full almost half the day.  I'm learning to enjoy my smoothies.  Though they look odd, they taste amazing.

For lunches, I've been taking my bento box almost every day.  Today's looks like this:

Top Left:  Mini meatloaf topped with cheddar cheese and bacon

Top Right: Baby carrots with ranch dressing in the tiny container

Bottom Left: Mini yellow cake loaf

Bottom Right: Peanuts

Perfect portion control and it contains my lunch, and snacks for the workday!
