Ahhh so insanely good!!! I think between this green smoothie and the peanut butter smoothie from Nosh I could have a completely liquid diet. They will never get old. Ever.
Here's what I put in my green smoothie: (although this can obviously be altered to add any of your favorite fruits, protein powders, nut butters, chia seeds, ground flax... you get the point)
1 large frozen banana
2 cups fresh spinach
1 cored and sliced apple
1/2 cup cold water
1/4 cup dried unsweet coconut
Ta-da!!
(I had a total of 5 green smoothies in the past 4 days...)
On a completely random note, I have an amazing friend named Meagan who gave me a birthday present this year that simply can't be topped. (I'd like to quickly point out that it was an extremely belated gift.) Being the talented design student that she is, Meagan made a book for me. Like literally made the binding and pages and filled it with awesome pictures, quotes, Bible verses, etc. Pretty much the best thing ever, and because words don't do it justice, I have provided pictures.
And a quick pic of meagan and me just for fun :)
My weekend was filled with homework, but I did manage to fit in a 9 mile run yesterday. Today's lift has not yet happened, but I'm about to go complete it. Here's the plan:

Oh Monday's... How I despise you.
Your photos are so gorgeous they almost have me convinced to try spinach in a smoothie! :). Love the pink straw with the green smoothie against the pink and green of your yard. You have a great eye! And you're getting very fancy with your photo skills! Love the book from Meagan! It is beautiful and looks like she spent so much time on it!
ReplyDeleteWhy thank you :) I'm glad you approve! And i definitely think you should try the smoothie... Next time you get the urge to make cookie dough you should just pull out this recipe... or just screw being healthy and make the cookie dough! haha!

ReplyDeleteI have been reading your blog for quite sometime now and I love it! I just started mine like a month ago and i promise I was going to tell you, but I wanted to wait till it was a little better... haha it's such a work in progress! Yes I took those pictures. My cousin Jenni taught me how to work a real camera, not just my little point and shoot I had previously always owned. Miss you too!
ReplyDeleteWell they look awesome! I need some lessons from you!! What kind of camera is it? Um start tweeting so we can talk all the time :)
