Is anyone else loving green smoothies as much as me lately? 

Oh, man, I have so much to do this week. Today I'll finish proofing my dissertation so it can go to my committee this week. I have to put in some maintenance hours at the rental house, since we're putting it up for sale (if you want to buy an adorable house next to Pax River, let me know!), and I need to make marshmallow shooters for 30 people! (Marshmallows of coyrse are not vegan or vegetarian, so I will call mine a Dandies shooter!) I also need to make a Dr.s appointment,  get my dogs groomed, and clean my car. Whew! I'm tired. Better go back to bed.

Of course this week I will continue doing Yoga every day. I'm cutting back my LSD run this Friday to 10 miles since lately when I've been tryin 15+ I've really struggled. I'm going to reclaim my joy in a nice 10 miler.

It's been a while since I've shared a recipe, so I wanted to give you this one, which I've recently discovered. I was never an Ice cream fan, it was always so cold, and it felt like it coated my throat. This recipe, though is for "Nice Cream" which I love on hot days, especially after a run. It can be a dessert, but it is also healthy enough to serve as a breakfast! There are also lots of variations you can play with. This recipe serves 1, but is easy to double or make even up to 4 servings at once, depending on your food processor.

Chocolate Nice Cream
Serves 1

Ingredients:
2 bananas,  frozen
Non-dairy milk (I use unsweetened original almond milk)
1 spoonful "dark chocolate dreams" peanut butter

Put bananas and peanut butter in your food processor, and add a splash of non-dairy milk. I would start with less than what you think you will need then add more until you get a creamy texture.

Eat right away. You'll be amazed at how the natural sweetness of the bananas comes through.

Some variations:
Instead of the chocolate PB, try adding regular PB for a nutty flavor
Add 2 dates and a drop of vanilla extract for a sweet vanilla flavor
Add a cup of strawberries  (I pre-freeze these, too) for a strawberry flavor
The possible combinations are endless!
