smoother than you.

Hello World! 
I am sorry I have been slightly M.I.A. My mom and I were so busy the whole time she was here and we accomplished a lot, but sadly you all got neglected. But don't be too sad, I am back!! I have redone my entire office, planted beautiful flowers, stained my picnic table, learned to crochet, started so many veggie seedlings, and given penelope a hair cut. Despite my successes of the past two weeks, I have neglected homework, and greatly neglected chef-boyar-deak, as well as overindulged [especially with dairy]. 

That being said, it is time to freshen up & let my body get healthy again. Summer & Mexico are only a few months away, so what better time to start? Today and yesterday has been a smoothie obsessed few days. I bought an Oster Myblend Blender & let me tell you, I LOVE IT! My mom and Mason both discouraged me from buying it, but when I am told no, I just want it more. I bought it yesterday and think it is just super cool. Since I live alone, it is super easy to make my one smoothie and go. It is all blended in a super convenient sport bottle and you simply swap the blade for the lid and you are on your way. I read a bunch of reviews first and was very surprised by the power in this little guy. It could easily blend my frozen fruits, bananas, squash & pears. 

 


- 1 cup spinach 
- 1/2 medium banana
- 1/2 yellow squash 
- 1/3 pear
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk 
- 1/3 cup frozen peaches 



Prep is as easy as 1, 2, 3. Chop your fruits and veggies, toss them in your sport bottle, pop on the blade & blend it up! Smoothies are delicious and nutritious. I love adding spinach and squash to mine because it is a great way to add nutrients and fiber without jeopardizing the taste. I even made Mason a protein shake yesterday morning with squash and he loved it! Trust me, it will be worth it, just experiment with your ingredients.
