A health and fitness blog: With an occasional food item

Now for something healthy

There's a guy in our office who is a complete health nut. He sits very near my husband, and Michael will often come home to tell me something this guy said about nutrition--for instance, that 70 percent of the food sold in grocery stores is processed and not worth eating.
He has a point. Not sure where the stat came from, but if you wander too far from the produce aisle, you can start to believe this.
So in honor of Ben, I give to you a recipe for a healthy drink:

Pineapple-Strawberry Smoothie

1 1/2 cups chilled pineapple juice
2 tablespoons BioSan flax oil
4 tablespoons nonfat yogurt
10 frozen strawberries
ice cubes
In a blender, combine ingredients in the order listed and puree to a smooth consistency, adding ice cubes as needed. Pour into a tall glass and enjoy!
