Editors Note:
I've recently started a new strategy for cooking. My previous strategy consisted of... not cooking. So, any cooking is a step in the right direction. To keep things simple as I dip my toes in to cooking trickier meals, I plan one big meal and eat the leftovers throughout the week. The implementation of smoothies in my cooking schedule allows me to make a meal that travels well and can be thrown together pretty quickly. In fact, as of tomorrow (and many Mondays to follow) I plan to cut up all the ingredients and portion them out for 5 days worth of delicious, refreshing, healthy smoothies. I'll let you know how it goes. (follow up link here)
