I still had leftover smoothie form the other day. I knew if I didn't eat it soon it would go bad, so I froze it! This smoothie had silken tofu, blueberries, honey, V8 Fusion, lemon, almond milk, yum.
NUTRITION RESEARCHLast but not least, check out this survey that was done by the International Food Information Council. They asked Americans just about every personal health question known to man, then ran the statistics and found out some crazy things! Did you know that 53 percent of Americans are actively trying to loose weight?! Check it out!
Which of these statistics surprises you the most? For me it was the fact that 50 percent of Americans don't wash their cutting boards between different foods...yikes! I just hope they aren't cutting meat and vegetables. If so, I hope they aren't cutting my food.
Thanks for reading today. Have a great Wednesday!

What better than to cool off with some watermelon salsa. That is truly a summer cooler, thanks for sharing the recipe!!
I am a recent greek yogurt convert!!
mmm . . . I've been crazy for watermelon lately and that sounds great. I've also been wanting to make watermelon gazpacho. I need to get some Popsicle molds, because those are so refreshing. Tj's greek yogurt is the best and cheaper!

I would have never thought of putting watermelon in salsa, but it sounds great and very summery! Yum!
I don't know whether I would have thought it was MORE or LESS than 53%...
I had no idea eggplant was such a great source of so many nutrients- I had some today for the first time in ages (delicious as well as nutritious- SCORE!)
I buy TJ's greek yogurt too! It's the cheapest and the thickest I can find.
