When You're Too Lazy to Chew Your Fruits and Veggies
Two Christmases ago, I got myself a blender. It was on sale, so I didn't have to think twice about buying it. Besides, I wanted to start my smoothie regimen, and my last blender had conked out (Lesson learned: DO NOT buy cheap, nameless appliances!). Why make smoothies, you may ask. Well, I have 2 main reasons: I wanted to detox (it was after Christmas, so I wanted to get rid of all the toxins left by holiday hams and lechon, and pork barbecue, and the sweets… you get the idea?), and I was too lazy to chew the leaves and skins of the fruits I wanted to eat to detox. Don't get me wrong! I love eating fruits and vegetables. But having to eat so much in one sitting in order for me to feel full makes me dread the amount of chewing I would have to do just to get all those nutrients inside my system. Besides, sipping the smoothie from my cute tumbler with a long red straw seems more fun. So first, I tried to experiment with my favorite fruits--bananas, man...
