I'm sick, sigh. The stupid antibiotics from my dental surgery have left me totally defenseless, and I'm sick. Did I mention that I never get sick? Anyhow, so we ran to the natural foods store after church to grab some kefir and nori, hopefully these will help support my body a bit better than regular yogurt. Plain kefir, btw, is totally pleasant in a smoothie!

Green Smoothie with Kefir
In light of the destruction of my immune system due to the dreaded antibiotics last week, I'm looking for ways to support my intestinal flora (nice, eh?). Today it was sooo tasty both, so I thought I'd share:
1 cup organic kefir (I used whole milk plain the first time, and pomegranate and acai the second time, which is much more tart)
1 c. water
1 banana
1 c. blueberries
8 strawberries
1 orange, with zest grated into smoothie
greens!
It was so tasty that I made a second one tonight. Much higher in calories than my usual, but I really feel like I need the ten bacteria in there (my yogurt only has two to three). Seriously, tasty. I plan on starting to make my own kefir if I can find some grains!

Holy stinking cow was I hungry today! I feel like I just ate all day long, and was somewhat embarassed to write it all down. Sigh. I turned my ankle at step this morning (it's fine now), so I didn't stay and do weights. The Monster is sick and puked all over me when we came home from the Princess' soccer game. He clung to me mercilessly all night, and I'm still trying to stave off a migraine as a result of the anesthesia from yesterday. Not a great day. That is all.
