…for being crazy cool and spotting the reference on my t-shirt. Here is the music video for the best song ever featured in the best movie ever which inspired the best t-shirt ever:

Swoon. Marty McFly is a dreamboat. I’m surprised it took him this long to make it on the blog. Really, Kate, get in the game.
Anyway, for lunch today I went back to basics with a salad! Spinach, feta, blueberries and tomatoes:
Yum! So fresh and lovely. On the side, I had smoothie leftovers from last night:
I am still eating this smoothie 45 min later. Smoothies are great for satiety because you get a lot of volume for little calories, and they take a long time to eat because they’re so cold, and in this case, tart! I get most snacky in the afternoon, so I’m hoping this smoothie will keep me full and prevent any unauthorized snackage.
So colorful and sweet. Lunch was 408 calories, 68g carbs, 9g fat, and 17g protein.
No real plan for the afternoon…I tackled the dishes last night and I finally have a (mostly) clean kitchen! Now I just have to get the rest of the apt looking good. Plus a gym trip, of course. Also I need to get a fresh manicure for the events this weekend.
…I thought I was married to Marty McFly when I was 3 and the movie had just come out. Don’t worry, you aren’t the only one obsessed!
I’ve been lurking around your blog for a while (found it from Kath’s) but this is my first comment
I was wondering how you kept the smoothie’s consistency?! It doesn’t look too frozen or watery…especially for being a leftover one!
I was going to ask the same question. Mine always separate. What’s in that thing?
I was obsessed with the Back to the Future movies as a kid!
Jess - Marty isn’t even the most embarrassing of my former loves. When I was a kid, I would get really upset (to the point of throwing things at the TV) whenever Jasmine would come on the screen. I hated her for stealing my future husband, Aladdin. Oh yes. Oh yes. Let’s just let that insanity sink in.
Justy - Hey, thanks for coming over! I really appreciate it, and hope you keep reading and commenting.
Re: smoothie consistency: my smoothies usually always have a thick, sorbet-like consistency (even when I don’t want them to) and I think it’s because I only use yogurt as a base (no water or ice, and only a spash of juice or milk) and I only use frozen fruit (I think fresh fruit has more water in it). This particular smoothie was nonfat vanilla yogurt, frozen mango, frozen strawberries, frozen raspberries, and a splash of OJ.
Becca - For the better part of Junior year in high school, I watched a portion of the triology ever day. I probably could recite them all from beginning to end. Please do not take this as bragging by any means. Quite the opposite.
