Oh well. You win some, you lose some.
I'm doing my part for the environment by driving around in the winter with the windows open and the heat on. I regularly club baby seals and endangered animals, and I make a point of slapping hippies whenever I see one with a battered acoustic guitar trying to play "Freebird" and yap about Africa. However, I think that I make up for it by drinking Odwalla Superfood. I mean, look at it. It's sludge green. It's the greenest thing ever.
The color itself is excruciatingly off-putting. In fact, it's almost too green, like...say, toxic waste. But it smells innocuous, and it tastes really, really good. It's also vegan. It's a blend of different fruits, and I was really enthusiastic about trying it because all the fruits were fruits I love- banana, strawberries, apples, peaches, and more, and I knew that if I was five, I would have peed myself. All my favorites in one place.
The drink itself was good, but wasn't as carefully crafted as I might have liked. The flavors, though presented on the box, were muddled together and didn't have the depth that I'd have liked to experience within the drink. It had a nice texture and flavor, with a little bit of acidity and bitterness from the extra vitamins and things, and it did provide me with energy, but for $3.79, I don't see why I needed to spend so much for what was really just a green smoothie. Are you going green, readers?

Ugh.... I tried Bolthouse's version of a "green" drink. I don't like liquified grass. No thank you. Never tried Odowalla, but I'll still pass.
I can't say I'm going green. I used to raise a garden (can't this year). I don't eat much meat. I recycle. But .... I'm not a vegetarian. I don't eat organic. I do eat as much sugarey things as I can handle without going into a diabetic coma. I like shoes and jewelry and order things over the internet that have to be shipped long distances and take a lot of gas to get to me.
So maybe instead of forest green I'm lime. ;)
Icky!
See, I think lime is a good thing. Maybe lime-green nail polish? :)
