Good morning!

Look at the awesome ‘quote’ card that she gave me!! I have this beside my computer screen now. :D
Included in the package: 2 awesome health bars!
- Keribar in Strawberry Chocolate Chip
- Think Organic Bar in Tropical nut
I had not tried either of these bars so I was naturally so excited! I cracked a Keribar open after dinner:
It was so. good. so. so. good!
The stats:
- 130 kcals
- 6 grams protein
- 5 grams fibre
- vegan
YUM! Thanks Melissa!!!

Eric and I watched The Office last night- the 1 hour special after the superbowl that we knew NOTHING ABOUT! What gives!? lol.
And oh my gosh did this episode deliver!!!!!!!!!!!!
I kept saying to Eric….imagine the people who just stumbled upon this episode after watching football….imagine what they were thinking…what the hell is this!? haha.
The opening was possibly the funniest Office moment ever. The cat!!!!! In the filing cabinet!!!!!!
Ok I will stop now. I’m sure this is highly irritating for non-Office fans (do they exist?? lol).

Breakfast was a big let down!
I added some mango and it just made the smoothie taste bitter…I don’t know, maybe the mango wasn’t ripe enough!?
The loot:
- 2 organic kale leaves (1 large + 1 medium)
- 1 Tbsp flax
- 1 cup Original Almond Breeze
- 3 sprigs of Parsley
- 1/2 cup mango
- 1 large banana
I was not a fan of the mango taste in this smoothie- it was pretty tart which makes me think that the mago wasn’t ripe enough! Maybe I should have waited a few days.

See you this afternoon for another powersnack recipe revealed and a video!

PPS- Check out my Salmon Vegetable Medley featured by Meg on Bites Du Jour!!
PPPS- I was featured as a KERF model today on Kath’s site! YAY!

Yay for fun prizes, that Keribar sounds great! OMG I LOVED the Office, it was basically the only reason I watched the Superbowl, so that I could be there when the episode started!! ha
Oh gosh, that traffic sounds awful, be safe, careful, and warm this morning!
ooh, gotta love packages :) was the mango really soft?? or yielded to pressure of your finger? it looks a little unripe so maybe that was it…
I liked your FAQ’s last night!! Thank you:) Oh and The Office was HILARIOUS!!! my boyfriend and I watched it last night ….the show is genius!!!
I have that card :D
I wish I had a blender so I could try out those green smoothies, they sound so interesting! I wonder how they taste..
loved your faqs last night! always enjoy those posts! what an awesome package you got! when i made those spinach and mango smoothies, i bought my mango frozen. They were really really tasty, so maybe try buying them and they will taste better?? Ah, i must be really missing out.. i’ve never once seen an episode of the office
Hey! Too bad you had a bad experience with the Mango. You are right in thinking it isn’t ripe. I can tell from the pictures that it isn’t “smoothie ready”. I promise you a ripe one tastes fantastic! You’ll have to try again! I’m making one tomorrow. You’ll have to stop by and check it out!
I have never seen an episode of the office either. I think I need to find out if I can download some episodes or something! Drive safe to work today! Not long now!
The office intro was definitely the best ever! The cat flying threw the ceiling – man, I can watch that on repeat over and over. Haha :D
I haven’t had a chance to watch The Office yet. Now I can’t wait!
Yay for The Office!!! It was SO good!
Hooray!! :-)
Congrats on the Prize! That is awesome!
I was at a party for the super bowl and everyone was a little taken back when the Office came on. It’s a humor that not everyone understands :)
Thanks Angela,
I am glad you enjoyed it! I meant to say yesterday, I absolutely love your “what I bought” feature. It is a great addition to your blog.
mango yum! Love the quote!
the office was SO good. it started a little after it was supposed to i think so my recorder didn’t tape the last ten minutes and im dying to find out what happened!! how random was the movie with jack black and the old lady LOL
Sorry about the smoothie! I am NOT a fan of unripened fruit. I wait until my bananas are almost black until I eat them. :)
Cute modeling pics on KERF! It was so fun to see you on her site!
Hope your commute wasn’t too bad – 3 more days!!!

Ps. the Office WAS hillarrriousss… I used to watch it all the time but school work was always heavy on Thursday nights so I broke my habit. How great was Michael’s Roast…I cried from laughing so hard!
That Office episode was SO funny!! I was LOL’ing so LOUD!
