smoothie is the word.

I just can't go another moment
without letting you in on the magic that is found in this bullet machine
---our fam is in LOVE with it---
info-mercial schminfo-mercial
we bought it and then watched the online infoUNmercial

Caleb is all about the green smoothie
spinach leaves give the drink the disturbing hue
and I think it's great that my 5 year old wakes up and asks
if he can have spinach for breakfast...
as a mom, how can I deny my son?!

Jon can get behind a smoothie some mornings, too
but Matthias is just not a fan
(he's an instant oatmeal kinda guy)

however...
everyone is a fan of the milkshakes that can be made
in this tiny-yet-powerful wonder of a machine
known as the magic bullet
