Start The Week Right

Happy Monday!  

Start your week off right with a green smoothie! I love these drinks so much it makes you feel so much better after only one! A lot of people will just put one leaf of kale or spinach in there drink and call it a green drink, but I actually use a good amount because I want to feel a difference in my body, rather than having a sugar rush! Aha! So in my drinks I LOVE blueberry and banana so I always have that , I'll add kale or spinach with some apple and carrot. ( sometimes ginger!! I don't like that one too much! Ahah ) I also love to add ground chia. It's sooo good for you and I love chia in everything! I even put ground chia or ground flax on my frozen Greek yogurt instead of graham cracker crumbs! I Can't even tell the difference! So to make it a smooth , I add coconut water with pulp so there are little chunks of coconut ! Yum!! These are great for pre or post workout! My mom usually has one green drink before our SoulCycle class, it really keeps you going! Don't mistake these drinks for juices though, by juicing you strain out all the important pulp and fibers in the veggies and are only left with the sugars. Don't get me wrong, I love having power shots that are lemon and ginger so don't completely cut out juices😉.  If you have a great green drink that you love, comment below! I'd love to try it!

Crisp Skies

Hi everyone! Today was a day for errands :) It was so beautiful out today I just was so happy! Every 20 minutes or so it would start raining, but it was so nice because it was sunny out and kinda windy so it was totally tropical! Yay! El Niño is really on its way now! Finally! I went to dinner with my mom and sister, then after we went to the bookstore! I love going to the bookstore because it smells so nice with all the new pages. I got a few new cook books I can't wait to show you and I got this leather bound journal that I will write all my personal recipes in. That will toatlly help me keep track of them all ! Ahah  !! Well, I'm going to try out a new bible study tonight so I'm gonna run ! Talk later
