Day Two - so far, so good

Smoothies for the grown ups, scrambled eggs for the kids this morning. Mango, kiwi, and ice for me and Michelle. Nathan added avocado to his.

Mid morning snack of oatmeal, with a touch of cinnamon and organic sugar, and fresh strawberries mixed in. I am not a huge fan of oatmeal, but this was actually really good. Ophelia loved it, and stole half of mine. The kids also had extra blueberries and strawberries.

Lunch was natural peanut butter and banana slices on whole wheat bread, and an organic bosc pear for me. Michelle did peanut butter and jelly again. The pears (from Trader Joe's) are delicious!

Healthy snacking tip: convenience! We put about a third of the fruit that we bought out on the counter, and put the rest in the fridge. We have all found ourselves snacking on fruit throughout the day instead of looking around for chips, cookies, candy, someone to drive to McDonald's for dollar menu food.

It also makes it easy to remember that you want to make a quick smoothie in the morning, or add a piece of fruit to your lunch.
