Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
I’ve been doing the fruit smoothies too. I’m really enjoying it. But I usually use Berry’s. They had the least carbs in them.
Yeah I like to add some greens as well. Cilantro has actually become a zesty favorite lately and it supposedly detoxes the liver.
Good to know because I love cilantro. And yes, it does. Have a wonderful flavor. I try and buy a weekly now and cut it up in advance. We put it on all kinds of different things. Love love, love, cilantro.
Also, we have a ranch market nearby. Today I got.
A huge watermelon for $4 I’m using that to make watermelon juice with a little bit of lime juice in it. It’s great for your heart and many other things in your body.
I got pineapples for $.99 each I’m going to cut these up, and use some for fruit, but the rest for my fruit smoothies
I got strawberries two packages for $1.50. I bought four of them. I’m going to cut some up and then I’m going to purée the rest. I make a delicious homemade strawberry ice cream.
I get the very large container of blueberries for $.99 each. I’ve been buying these, and then freezing them for my fruit smoothies. It’s way cheaper than buying the already frozen fruit.
Blackberries and raspberries for $1.50 each
I eat berries every day for breakfast. I love them. They have the least amount of carbs, and the best impact on your health! I love, love, love my berries 😁
Thanks for sharing all of your input on healthy eating!
