Wheat Grass!



So tonight, we had quite an adventure. Being that I'm the only one that can drive a stick shift, I am always invited out when people need to run errands! We went to a Juice/Smoothie shop tonight and we decided to be bold and order what the 'locals' drink. I ended up with an Acai berry bowl smoothie topped with banana and granola and a shot of wheat grass with a chaser. Wheat grass is literally grass pushed through a juicer until it liquifies, then you shoot it down your throat. They say one ounce of what grass is equal to eating 2 1/2 lbs. of fresh leafy green veggies. It literally tastes like licking the bottom of a lawnmower. It's awful - seriously. They usually give you a "chaser" afterwards, like a flavored juice of some kind, but she forgot to give me one so I had that awful taste of grass until my acai granola bowl was ready. That was pretty good, actually. It better be as much as this healthy California crap costs!


After that, we went to the 2 story target in Olde Town Pasadena. Had to get a few last minute things before we leave for Russia. Then back for another night of ultimate frisbee on the lawn. Never a dull moment! Maybe there is something to this wheat grass thing after all..... haha

Love you all and thanks for reading!

Acai is so yummy with granola! It is so common in Brazil.
