Thanks! I want to extend appreciation to you as very gentle motivator..

I'm feeling virtuous-ish as I made a promise to myself (and those self-to-self promises have a spotty track record, lol) to eat one large meal of just vegetables every day. Fruit being allowed as desert. I'm not fond of most cooked vegetables but have been drinking smoothies out of the stuff. I found that some chunks of apple or frozen mango make anything taste good.
My theory is that, I can at least partially crowd out* poorer food choices every day and aim for at least progress. The NutriBullet thing could probably puree a smal car so it's my best friend for tougher-fibered produce.
I dealt with breast cancer last fall (tiny and lumpectomy only) and read a ton of peer-reviewed studies found on Google Scholar and was alarmed at how much a role diet can play. But I mostly care that the smoothies are delicious and a fast meal.
*I've always liked Gresham's Law in economics and modified it to "good food drives out bad." But I really do just feel better knowing that, no matter what else I do that day, I ate one large intelligent meal.
