Secret ingredient

Posted on July 8, 2011 | 7 Comments

I am having one of those days where I am feeling sore from all my riding and hiking and yard work endeavors.  So I am taking it easy and getting some much-needed chores done around the house.

However I did take a moment out for a smoothie lunch.

Instead of making my smoothie with spinach today, I decided to use:

  • 1 cup almond milk
  • 2 scoops chocolate amazing grass
  • 1 scoop hemp protein powder
  • 1 scoop peanut flour
  • 1 cup frozen berries
  • 1 banana

And a secret pick me up ingredient.  As you know I am achy and dragging today……

Coffee from this mornings pot.

It was a great addition and I am already feeling the caffeine kick ;)

Perfect for a sunny summer day.

On another note, Pepsi just got groomed and she is looking too cute.

She not only looks cute she smells good too :)

Any fun secret ingredients you have tried lately?

Would you try coffee in your smoothie?

Have a great Friday friends!

Being Civilized

Posted on June 3, 2011 | 9 Comments

This morning I had the pleasure of going into work a bit later than usual so I got to eat a civilized sit-down breakfast.  Bill was even able to join me! Usually I am running out the door with a Tupperware full of oats in one hand and a green monster in the other.

Today I relished in my extra time and whipped up a smoothie in a bowl.

First I started with my typical green monster goodies:

  • unsweetened almond milk
  • frozen berries
  • spinach

And added two of my favorite things right now:

Then I added my serving of steel-cut oats:

And then my blended up monster with raspberry and banana toppings:

Delicious and fun to eat.  I especially liked “finding” the oats in the middle :)

How do you usually eat breakfast?  Are you rushing around like me or do you have time?

Yay for the weekend :)
