The Heart of Dixie

By day I am a lowly telecom rep, workin' for the weekend along with the rest of the underprivileged world. But after work I am Dixie Kicks, a proud member of the Wicked Pissahs and the Boston Massacre roller derby teams. When I am not wearing skates, you can find me cooking up a vegan storm in the kitchen, daydreaming of North Carolina (my home, sweet home), petting my cats, planning my next adventure, looking for great vintage finds at thrift stores, spending lots of time with my boyfriend, and planning craft projects that will never be started and/or completed.

Ask me anything

3rd January 2012

I started the morning with the green smoothie recipe that I think I found in Women’s Fitness magazine a while ago. It is supposed to be good for your skin because of all of the chlorophyll, but it also a good way to get your greens and include more fruits and veggies in your diet. Combine all ingredients in a blender and drink away! It will provide an 8oz serving for 5 days. I also added half a tablespoon of spirulina powder and added the juice of a whole lemon, but I like things lemony. Here’s the recipe:

1 1/2 C water

2 C chopped romaine

3-4 stalks celery

3 C organic spinach

1 apple, cored and chopped

1 pear cored and chopped

1 banana

juice of 1/2 a lemon
