How we got to now.

The wind rushes through your hair as you cup a cigarette in your hand, hoping you can get one more drag out of it before it's gone. You still have a long way to go while sitting on the back of a bike traveling to unknown places.

What you do know is that you will be having fun. An adventure awaits while you travel the miles to your destination. Picking up more and more people, the farther away you go.

The bike slows. You look around to see forests and fields but nothing more. You should not have been surprised. You hold out hope for a Port-O-Potty. What you see is a half moon carved into a door, and think at least there will be fresh air in there!

You find a group of friends. You mesh well together. You find yourselves talking into the night and never get bored. You are safe and watched out for when around these friends. Life has never felt so freeing and magical.

Years creep by you silently. You learn to write. However, it's been a week since you put pen to paper.

You bought a new product because it should be Good for You, and you left a review.

Amazon Review I wrote for Super Greens Powder

I now find myself old enough that I need to start drinking the dreaded green juice for health reasons. I know... Getting old has its downsides.

I opened the jar and saw the green powder and shivered. You needed the scoop to measure the green powder. No scoop could be seen even with my good glasses on. There was plenty of space in the jar for the scoop.

I came here to read if anyone else was missing the all-important scoop but nope, no complaints about missing scoops. A lot about the taste, though. I finally took a butter knife, slid it through the jar much smaller than I would have thought, and pulled it out...

No, not a scoop.... but a silicone-type packet. Huh. Still no scoop.

Once again, I looked into the small jar, glasses perched on the end of my nose but did not see anything that looked like clear scooping plastic bits. I took a deep breath and my trusty butter knife in hand, and started fishing for anything else in the jar that wasn't green power. On the 4th slice through the green powder, I did come across the handle of the scoop.

How do I get the scoop out of the jar and not empty the green powder over my kitchen counters? Deep breath and slow knife and hand coordination skills were at play. I finally had the scoop in hand. WOOT!

Now, to try and make the green powder drinkable. Cuz...it's green. No one wants to drink anything green. Trust me on this. If your friend says they love it, they're lying to you. Just saying! Anywho...

I got my trusty blender and added 1 cup (8 oz) of skim milk, one scoop of the green powder, four ice cubes, a small handful of frozen store-bought blueberries, and one banana cut up. I stuck the top on the blender and mixed it until there were no more ice chunks trying to break the sides of my blender.

Somehow, I have no idea how but my 8 oz of skim milk turned into about 24 oz of blueberry goodness that cooled me off while I drank it in the Summer heat. It was a wonderfully refreshing treat on a hot day, and no weird aftertaste.

So to those mixing the green powder with plain water and using a spoon to mix it and wonder why you are getting lumps, it's because it is a power that happens to be green. Besides Jello in hot water, nothing that is a powder tastes good in plain water. Use juice or milk and blend it with ice cubes.

You can at least finish the jar and not waste your money.

For now, this is my review. I will come back in 30 days and let you all know if it worked for me or if I lost the bottle in the back of my refrigerator because in very teeny, tiny print, the kind where you need your good reading glasses on to read, it says on the label to refrigerate after opening.
