Birdfeeding

Today is partly sunny and hot.

I fed the birds.  I've seen house finches and doves.

EDIT 8/27/21 -- I watered plants.

A Processing Spectrum

Food appears on a spectrum from unprocessed (which is good for you) through lightly and moderately processed to ultra-processed (which can kill you).  I just found an article that includes a great food processing spectrum from a whole apple to an apple-flavored gummi bear.  :D  To eat healthier, simply lean toward the whole, unprocessed end of the spectrum as much as possible.  That doesn't mean you can never enjoy apple pie or gummi bears, just that eating whole apples more often correlates with better health.

Today's Smoothie

Today we made a smoothie with:

1 cup Lakewood Organic Papaya Blend juice 
1 cup Brown Cow vanilla yogurt
1 banana
1/2 cup frozen mango chunks
1/2 cup ice

This turned out thick and creamy, with a pale yellow color and a nice tropical flavor.  :D
