This week I cut back on my running to 3mi since I want to increase week after next...felt strange not to do my usual 5mi but am learning that rest is the building phase to running, or any sport/exercise before increasing distance, frequency, or intensity.

So new to green smoothie this am:

chia seeds (for energy)

pear

apple

broccoli

green powder

Vit C

Have a terrific Sunday, Greco

The smoothie sounds very nutritious how does it taste? I'm also curious what you are doing about B12 deficiency that can be problematic in a vegan diet?
