Smoothie Recipes

2016 has been self-proclaimed as the year of me getting my mojo back. One of the things on the list was for me to become healthy and buildup my energy, and lose weight. March 18th I started my journey and as of right now I'm 24 pounds down. I have my good days and I have my not-so-good days but one thing that I have learned to do better is eat. I'm one of those people that doesn't eat much and because of that metabolism sucked. So I have learned to not leave the house without eating.  A big helper has been making smoothies. Below are some of the smoothies that I've been deliciously devouring lately.  Enjoy!!!!




Monkey Flip Recovery Smoothie
           
12 ounces of pure, unsweetened coconut water
1 banana
1 tablespoon Peanut/Almond butter
2 tablespoons plain nonfat Greek yogurt
Ice, to preference

Low-Calorie Chocolate Almond Smoothie

1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
1/2 scoop chocolate protein powder (I used Vega Performance Protein)
8 raw almonds
3 ice cubes


Cinnamon Apple Smoothie

8 ounces coconut water
4 raw almonds
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup chopped apple (about 1 medium Granny Smith apple)
1/2 scoop unsweetened protein powder
1 tablespoon flaxseed meal (ground flaxseed)

Cinnamon Bun Smoothie

1 frozen banana, cut into four pieces
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon pure maple syrup

Morning Workout Protein Smoothie


1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
1/2 cup water
1/2 banana
Dash of cinnamon
1 scoop of vanilla protein powder (I used one packet of Tone It Up's vegan vanilla protein powder Perfect Fit)
Ice

Strawberry Lemonade Smoothie
1/2 cup pure coconut water
1 1/6 cup local, organic strawberries
1/4 medium-large local, organic lemon
1 handful of organic spinach
2 to 3 small pitted, local Deglet Noor dates (optional and can be used to sweeten according to taste)
2 scoops ice

 The lemon helps the body naturally cleanse, while the strawberries provide well over the daily recommended intake of vitamin C, which has been shown to help burn fat. And not only that, the added spinach helps regulate your digestive system.

PB&J Smoothie
2 cups fresh strawberries
1 frozen banana, chopped
2 teaspoons peanut butter
4 ounces fat-free plain Greek yogurt or fat-free milk
1/2 cup ice cubes

Pull It Together Tuesday (Major Venting!)

I recently posted on my, personal  FB status that it frustrates me extremely when I vent to someone and they don't respond back to me with questions, answers, some type of input or, feedback whatever the case need be. So rather then talk to someone and frustrate myself further with these people I thought I would share with u all.

I have been counting down to this week, to this moment, when I officially become a work from home mom. I was ready to pursue my business ideas, that will hopefully help it to prosper. Ready to get back an inkling of the woman that my husband fell in love with, full if surprises, energy and love. I was ready for teaching my son any and everything I can possible teach him, I was ready to strengthen my relationships, but most of all I was ready TO HAVE SOME TIME FOR ME, MYSELF AND I!!!!!!!!

  • So far I've sent out 3 of about 50 emails I have to send to organizations asking about their shows and festivals for my event calender.
  • I've sent out 0 of the 3 emails I have to send to my customers. (Winter Newsletter, Clearance sale, Book A Jewelry party).
  • However, I am up to date on The Isis Collections blog and fan page, and the Real Wives of Chicago Blog and fan pages
  • I have not listed any of my new jewelry creations on the website.
  • I haven't made any fantastic dinner recipes yet.
  • Have not scheduled one date night yet.
  • I have made reservations for my sons Birthday Extravaganza, but have failed to do any of the other daily activities I've wanted to do with him.
  • Have not made any dates with my friends yet
  • I have not scheduled my spa date yet!
  • and to top it all off the very job that I am no longer an employee at.  I have been there for the last 2 days, and will becoming back tomorrow to get even more stressed out! Ugghhhh!!!
I know, I know its only been 2 days it'll get better, and I have a lot more days full of relaxation, love, and success, but for now I have a huge headache and cards to type up at work.  I'll pull it together...one day.
