Secret ingredient

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

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 :)

This morning I whipped up a delicious smoothie.

I made it a bit different than normal because I am out of my fav Amazing Grass.

I used Tempt Hemp Milk, Living Harvest Hemp Protein, Trader Joe’s organic cocoa powder, almond butter, frozen berries, and POM juice:

It was so good!

Delicious!

I am looking forward to making one tomorrow morning for Smoothie Friday!

Will you join me?

What do you like to put in your smoothies?

In Honor of the Hump

June 2, 2010 28 Comments

I really enjoyed reading about what you all do for a living on my last post.

I loved finding more out about my readers.  We are such a diverse group! I was glad to see there are quite a few teachers out there too.  And to answer the question as to what I teach-I teach middle school math and science and I have been doing it for 12 years now :)

I also really appreciated all of you who clicked on Bill’s new business venture because as you know with every click you move up on the search engines-so we REALLY appreciated the views :)

Since it is hump day already I felt it was time to celebrate! Yay for the Hump!

I have been really enjoying Living Harvest products lately.  I so love their hemp milk and their coffee biscotti “ice cream.”  I also love their hemp protein.  It tastes much better then all of the other ones I have tried.

I really like adding it to my morning smoothie along with the hemp milk and amazing grass:

So in honor of the hump their is HEMP!

I have one coupon for a free container of Living Harvest Hemp Protein or Hemp Oil to share with you today!

Just comment on this post and I will pick a winner tomorrow morning.  This is a great coupon because the hemp protein is about twenty dollars in most stores :)

Have a great Hump Day and thanks for reading!
