Bring on the Superfoods!

The namesake of this blog has made it known that he wishes to modify our current diet plan.  We will languish no more in the fruitless (literally) pursuit of South Beach weight loss.  While keeping some of the low carb principles in place, we're allowing far more fruit into our diet.

We're getting out the blender and we're not afraid to use it.  We feel the benefits, the fiber, the vitamins, and the delicious flavor, far outweigh the concern over sugars in our diet.  Phase 2 just seemed too restrictive in this area.

Exhibit A:  The Sunny Bunny...a smoothie I first experienced at Columbia, Missouri's Main Squeeze.  It fulfills Michael's new diet requirement, which is to say it tastes good and it's good for him.  It's a glass full of superfoods.  Carrots taste good.  We've been told all our lives that they're good for us, and they're loaded with vitamin A.  Oranges taste good.  They're packed with vitamin C and folate.  Bananas taste good.  One banana has 422 mg of potassium.  It's all quite fresh, organic, and good for him.  I got out the old Osterizer and juiced seven huge carrots.  I put a couple bananas in the blender with the carrot juice and the orange juice and blended.  When making smoothies, one can't be bothered with measurements.  You put in what you like and it will taste good to you.  Go on, dust off your juicer.  You know you wanna.
