The Power of Green!

So have you ever had a fried "Twinkie"? Well neither had I until Sunday afternoon. My teenage son Josh is the fry king around here. He loves to fry anything and everything he can get his hands on. For the 4th of July I had bought him some twinkies to as a little gift. He's been great to eat raw with us and he admits to actually liking a lot of it. However I knew he would make me crazy until he tried out his fried "Twinkie". So he started frying things up like crazy on Sunday. Fried pickles, (something from my childhood) mushrooms, anything he could get his hands on. Then came the twinkies... they found the recipe on the internet and jumped in head first. I was trying so hard to be good... but I did eat about 1/2 of a fried twinkie and 4 or 5 fried pickles and one mushroom. They tasted great... but about a 1/2 later my stomach hurt so bad I couldn't stand it. So instead of complaining I just went and made a green smoothie. It only took a few sips before my stomach started to feel better. By the end of the glass I didn't have that heavy awful fried food feeling. I felt good again!!! It's so hard to live in a place where it seems that so much of everything we do is centered around food. So if you find yourself eating something you shouldn't, green drinks save they day. With all of those live enzymes, amino acids and great vitamins and minerals. It really helps you get on track and get feeling better fast. The scale was even down the next day. :)
