Super Mom

I don't often feel like SuperMom. In fact, most days are more like "Elle-had-to-borrow-diapers-from-a-friend-at-school-today" Mom or "Dr. Golding,-I-think-your-breast-milk-spilled-in-the-call-room-fridge" Mom or "My-child-only-knows-how-to-cook-things-in-her-play-kitchen-using-the-microwave" Mom or "Your-daughter-is-the-mascot-of-daycare: first-to-arrive-and-last-to-leave" Mom or or my personal favorite, "Ma'am-your-child-just-ate-some-unidentifiable-fried-object-off-the-convenient-store-floor" Mom.

But this makes me feel like Super Mom:


Watching E jump for pure joy while slurping her "bana moothee! (Banana Smoothie), which has every possible element of nutrition that a SuperMom could hope for. The photo is blurry because she is literally jumping for joy between sips.

1 frozen banana
Splash of milk
Splash of juice (we don't drink juice so I use Sobe Life Water or something similar we have on hand)
1 tbsp ground flax seed
Handful of baby spinach

Blend! Add in a few ice cubes at the end and blend more! Other than the greenish color (hence its alias The Green Monster), the spinach is totally occult. E loves it. Mom loves that E loves it. The lady at the convenient store loves it because now her customers are too full from smoothie to graze on a floor's worth of unidentified fried objects.
