A Recipe to Wash Away the Morning Blues. (Literally)

I have been on a diet for almost four months now. I shouldn't really call it a diet as it truly is a healthy way of eating and probably the way I should have been eating for the past 8 years. Essentially all of the stuff that I love was cut out of my diet. No more breads or sugars; only lite cheeses and no carb/sugar rich veggies (potatoes, carrots, corn). While I do find time to enjoy a burrito wrapped inside a pizza deep fried in buffalo sauce and the smothered in ranch it's just not as frequent. This change has allowed me to become more creative in the kitchen. I have experimented with so many seasonings and marinades from horny goat weed, butt rubs, cumin and tarter to cloves, curry, and herbs de provence. While dinner is always fun and exciting, breakfast is always a challenge. Without breads and potatoes breakfast can get kind of bland. I have a recipe for a killer smoothie recipe that is guaranteed to give your morning a boost in a completely healthy way. Feel free to replace or add ingredients to your discretion. I use a Magic Bullet which I believe is God's gift to bullets and magic. You daily household boring blender is an acceptable substitute, but it is neither magic nor bullet shaped.

Instruction
1/4 c fat free yogurt
1/4 c Odwalla pure Orange Juice
1/3 c V-8 High Fiber
1 peeled and sliced kiwi
4 sliced strawberries
1/2 handful blueberries

Squirt a quarter lemon on top followed by three dashes of Tapitio Hot Sauce as you say "(1) Ole (2) for (3) Today!" then sprinkle about a pinch of mescaline the size of a bear paw on top. Close off with chopping blades then blend to desired consistency. You will be on your way walking on clouds with purpose and meaning to an otherwise dreary day. During hot summer days use frozen fruit to make a delicious icy treat and use acid to feel as if you are melting.

So much for low-carb, low sugar with that smoothie.
