shhh a NINJA!

So as you totally won't have guessed from the post title, I got a Ninja Professional blender from my boyfriend as kind of a "moving to our new apartment" housewarming gift.  Or at least, I'm choosing to think of it that way.  Because of this, he's also interested in going on a "smoothie" diet, which I will turn into a juicing diet and hide all the solid food.  I need to cement the pantry doors shut...


To keep my sanity for trying to keep track of all the smoothies I'm making (and liking) I'm going to put them here :-D
