Blogging as Jogging for Memory – Smoothie and Pinwheel Appetizers

Pre Shri Yoga breakfast should be light enough to withstand downward dogs, forward bends and spinal twists, while giving one enough fuel to endure. A little fruit, chia, hemp and ground flax seeds blended into a smoothie with ice, milk and unsweetened, organic, pure cranberry juice. So, when time takes its toll and my memory slips further I’ll be happy to slurp on this any old-time. Enjoy this Smoothie and Pinwheel Appetizers!

• Thanks to Shri Yoga (click to check their website) for inspiring me to eat light. They’ll have an open house September 23-25 – with several FREE CLASSES.
• Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to write me. Blogging is just another way of sharing interests. Nice to know what I have in common with whom.
• Thanks to my brother Eric, Earth Circle Organics for encouraging healthy eating, to my sister Julia Richardson, for being my guiding light in all things food. I call her “Julie & Julia” for obvious reasons.
• A big thanks to my mom who always fed me right and entertained her heart out.
