This was a really healthy lunch, probably would have been even healthier if I used almond milk and since I used low calorie yogurt was probably under 300 calories. I mentioned going to B B and B yesterday, well one thing I bought was big thick colorful straws, so naturally I used those with my smoothie. The only thing I hate about making smoothies is cleaning the blender... What was for lunch at your place?

It's 11 PM here. We had some mixed veggies with chapati ( Indian bread) for our dinner. Your lunch sounds yummy and healthy. I don't like blueberry but I love bananas.

@snowy22315 Blueberry is healthy but I don't like the taste. It's not very common here. We have mostly the imported ones and so a bit on expensive side.

@snowy22315 My mom always had her gadgets packed away in their boxes so she never used them. I have them all where I can see them. It is not so tidy buy it is easier to use them.

@LadyDuck I know that feeling, although generally I am in the mood too. When it is too hot, it isn't much fun.

Pretty bought aluminum straws to use when she's drinking a smoothie. They don't collapse and are really easy to clean afterwards. (She used a handful of my Bing cherries to make a smoothie this afternoon.)

Yes, I wish these were of a non plastic material, but they are not. I like to be enviormentally friendly when possible, but these are pretty sturdy. I could re use them.

@DaddyEvil I like these too, but I would have felt better about them if they had been recyclable. At least being thick and sturdy I can re use them as mentioned.

Lunch was more of a brunch. I had sausage gravy on hand. Hubby said it was too salty. I had some cooked rice and we served the sausage gravy over the rice. Hubby said it was fine then. Yay! two more bowls emptied and cleaned.

I hated cleaning the blender too when I would make smoothies. My favorite was blueberries, raspberries, coconut milk, and spniach (you couldn't taste the spinach).

I hate cleaning the blender too! I didn't really have a lunch meal . . . I just got some random small leftovers and ate them from the containers (little bit of strawberry/spinach salad, piece of havarti cheese, this yam stuff). Now I want a smoothie!!

I hate cleaning appliances too. I should start making smoothies again. I own a small ninja. It only makes a glass at a time. Maybe next week when it will be hot again.

The straws and the Smoothies look awesome and inviting! We ordered Kadai Paneer (Spicy Cottage Cheese cooked in an Iron Vessel)and made some Whole Wheat Flour Chapatis (kind of bread) for our lunch. We mostly prefer hone made food but sometimes we take the food from outside as well.

They look thick and creamy. I haven't had blueberry before so can't comment, but yogurt with banana is a good combo. We drink wood apple juice in summer. A bit fibrous so you need to strain it but tastes good.

I like smoothie. It's healthy and yummy. But I'm too lazy to make it myself. As you said, I hate the part of cleaning the blender. My lunch today was Chinese noodle with pork and veggie.
