All of the top three universal New Year’s resolutions include some sort of vocabulary related to diet resolutions. The top one has always been “to lose weight” (the other two are “to get in shape” and “to start dieting” – a little redundant, yes – but, at least those of us who make resolutions are consistent). And these days, we have fewer excuses because we have lots of nifty new gadgets to take us down the path of keeping your diet resolutions.
There are Fit Bits that keep track of every calorie you consume and every calorie you burn, there are cell phones apps that get you off the couch and into a 5K, and of course there are blenders, juicers, and Nutribullets to turn kale into juice and carrots into soup.

Smoothie Dreams, Refrigeration Woes
When I received a Nutribullet for Christmas, I immediately headed straight to the produce aisle at the grocery and went completely insane. Armed with a gazillion recipes from Pinterest, I filled my cart with everything from mangoes to mint leaves, raw spinach to raw flax seeds, coconut water to cranberries. So, when I arrived home and was reminded that my fridge has only two measly crisper drawers with no temperature control, my dreams of healthy smoothies were dashed. How to keep all these celery stalks and apples, and blueberries fresh while I’m still feeling resolute?
