Oil and Water?

005

I was excited to try Zico coconut water in a smoothie this morning.  I blended…

  • 1 container of Zico coconut water
  • 2 ice cubes
  • 1 cup of frozen berries
  • 1 tablespoon of blueberry flax seed
  • 1 packet of truvia

Though the smoothie wasn’t going to be very filling, I was thirsty and it did the trick.  I also liked the subtle sweetness.  I wasn’t in the mood for something to taste over the top sugary.

After leaving my smoothie on the table so I could finish drying my hair, I returned to find that the coconut water had separated from the rest of the mix.  With a few swirls of a spoon, everything was blended back together.  I made sure to drink it really quickly so I could finish it before it separated again.

Here’s our little Christmas tree, waiting to be decorated when I get home from work later tonight.

And here is the bane of my existance:  Jared’s mess of boxes and wires that sit on either side of the TV!  There must be some way to organize, or at least hide, everything!

It’s sunny, a little muggy, and over 60 degrees in Boston today.  It didn’t feel right listening to Christmas music on the drive to work.  It felt great to snack on a Clementine though.  My smoothie didn’t keep me very full and my stomach was growling!

Here are 2 shots from the tree lighting in Copley Square because despite the weather, it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
