Blenders in the grass sounds like one of those insanely healthy vegan places.. hehe.
But smoothies sound delish...

I miss really good chinese food! In the Bay Area there are so many great places to get some...down here there is only one that I can stand, the rest are just WRONG

Great mexican food down here, but not sure its worth the trade off

I think the other thing I have where I am is great produce. My husband lived in Boston for a year and was shocked at the fruit deprivation they have there most of the year, and the high prices. We have so many fruit choices all year round.

lol, it was started by some hippy guys I think... it was started very locally and now is up and down the coast... we have like 4 of them in town though which is awesome. Their lowest calorie one is the Cranberry which is delish... but I also love their Date one with strawberries added... also the strawberry colada is good...
ok.. I may have to go get one soon.

Oh lisa, now I want a flipping smoothie..

& considering its almost midnight I'm pretty sure thats not going to happen..
I seriously dislike middle of the night cravings!

As for the hippy guys starting it

That sounds about right for the name of it

A cranberry smoothie? Eee, doesn't sound very good.. isn't it bitter and yuck tasting?

lisaf · Oct 27th, 2010, 16:53 PM

ooh, not bitter at all (sorry for causing the late-night craving, its probably too cold for a smoothie anyway, right?

)
Its not super sweet, but its the perfect tangy-ness.
I don't know if you like tart fro-yo.. but its not even as tart as that.
PLUS, I get to feel like its not only low-cal, but its great for preventing UTIs

I'm afraid of all the free supplements now though... I think I chose honey last time since that seemed 'safe'. I just don't know what's in most of those, how much of the herbs/vitamins are in there and whats safe for pregnancy. And it only matters because the supplements are free, hehe... so it feels like a waste not to get them.

bellablu- fast food has been my sickness savor. It's about the only thing I can eat because I don't have to smell it being cooked and most stuff still tastes good.

Lisa- at first I was thinking it was one of those places, like we have up in Seattle, where they blend grass and other green things to makes a "healthy" smoothie.

lisaf · Oct 27th, 2010, 17:51 PM

lucky - well they do of course offer wheat grass shots and sell these horrible looking 'oat cakes' by the register.. but most people get the most unhealthy smoothies there, lol.. like the peanut butter one with chocolate added is probably their most popular smoothie... and I think its as bad as a milkshake health-wise.

OMG OMG! I Want a peanut butter and jelly (really just some kind of juice) smootie
and OLIVE GARDEN! ArGH! The nearest olive garden is 3 hours away!!!

luckyme225 · Oct 27th, 2010, 20:35 PM

I've went off peanut butter since getting preggers. Olive garden sounds amazing though!!!

I got my doppler today and found the baby's heart beat.

lisaf · Oct 27th, 2010, 20:43 PM

aww, I made the decision not to get a doppler but all you ladies with them keep tempting me! Darn you!
