You take a cloth napkin, spread it on the counter.
Add your little bed of greens (here I have organic spinach and some weird reddish stuff we grew in our community garden).
Then you add your fruit which today is an organic pear...
...then throw on some fresh herbs (curly parsley today) and a peeled lemon...
...then you change your mind (okay maybe that's just me) and add another piece of fruit. I added a green organic granny smith apple...
...then some kind of fun little "extra"- today it was ground flax seeds (you could also just keep these separate to avoid the inevitable mess it makes when it sticks to the napkin...whatever). :)
Wrap up that little bundle of goodness like a burrito...
...then slip it into a ziplock bag that you can reuse over and over again...
The next morning, you unwrap the green goodness, toss it in said quasi-functional work blender (much to the chagrin of your coworkers who just LOVE the noise) with 1/2 cup of water and wrestle with the blender blend till as smooth as possible. Add a handful of ice, blend again and you have a delicious breakfast that will give you all the energy you need to get moving. Plus, even just at breakfast, you'll have had 5 or 6 servings of fruit and veggies. I'd wager that's more than most people get in a day and you're just getting started.
You have no idea how much happiness that little bag of goodness inspires in me. I love knowing I'm all set for the next morning.
Seeing these come out of the oven after my little burrito was tucked away also makes me super happy. My little wee lass turns four tomorrow and she will be thrilled to see these chocolate cupcakes ready to roll.

I'm just impressed that you have a blender at work! I've never worked anywhere where they had a blender. Go, you! I like your smoothie burrito idea. :) I'll have to figure out somewhere to go where there is a blender (besides my house, where I also have a juicer) so I can use try it out.

People at work are used to seeing me with huge mason jars of green liquid gold. No blender, but there's a fridge. :)
