How does life in Dayton, Ohio, compare to life in Costa Rica?

After moving to Costa Rica, I am back in the USA visiting family and friends.

blending

Something I really miss about home: me blender. This was E's Christmas gift to me last year, and on most days I make myself a smoothie in the morning and then again in the afternoon to wrap up lunch. Why are smoothies so good? It's the flavors and the....well, the smoothness! Sometimes I don't feel like sitting and eating a whole apple bite by bite, but put in in the blender and in moments you have an amazing drink.
I love making smoothies with fruit, juice and ice...nothing else, nothing too fancy. My favorite blend is papaya and orange juice over ice.

This morning however, I made a pretty yummy green smoothie that I thought I would share.

1 banana
1 apple, sliced
1 cup spinach
1 cup vanilla yogurt
1/2 cup almond milk

Blend away!

Pura Vida...
