Finally Wifi!!!!

So now that I finally have wifi I will be back to regular posting..or at least more than once a week! So this post is a few random interesting things from this week including a relaxing exploration of whole foods for something to do, back to working out, and fun food!

#1: I LOVE my protein powder! This Achieve protein powder in creamy vanilla is seriously so good, when I found it on my step when I came home after break it was like Christmas all over! I have one smoothie everyday (usually take a break on sunday). There is yummy good for you vitamins in here like turmeric. Studies have shown it fights against cancer, is good for your liver, brain, cardiovascular health and more! Look it up!

#2 A smoothie recipe: T flaxseed oil (good for whole body -omega 3s-plus keeps you filling full!)
Tropical frozen fruit (pineapple, mango, banana, strawberries), creamy vanilla protein powder, lots of spinach!, cinnamon (so good for you! throw it in everything!), Chia seeds (after blended they do not need to be ground up), and my faaaaaav almond milk! (vanilla) I feel so good after I have one of these and full!

#3 Upon my adventure to wander Whole Foods (so nice not to be in a rush!) I found Garlic Kale chips on sale! Perfect reason to try them! Such a delish and healthy snack, they look gross I wont lie but this week was all about the GREEN, anything green is SO good for your body! Spinach and Kale pack lots of vitamins, especially when we might be feeling a down due to weather! There are healthy enzymes in them to aid digestion, vit K, A, C, iron, calcium (not just from milk!) and is a natural detoxifier. yay!

#4 Also on my adventure I decided to treat myself to a drink as I shopped, and it was actually a treat for my body! I was feeling really tired on saturday and a little lackluster so I tried the "apple zinger" from the juice bar (freshly juiced from their big juicer!): apples, KALE (sticking with the theme), ginger root, and lemon. SO TASTY! I want a juicer now...it was all frothy and seriously made me feel better and gave me energy, call me crazy but it's like I could feel the "zing" haha.

#5 Last thing from tonight: Girls bachelor night healthy treat (that took 15 minutes haha) These are cookies that you bake but then can be frozen and I bet you have all the stuff in your home already: 1.5 mashed bananas, then add 1/8 c. creamy organic peanut butter, t vanilla, dash of cinnamon, 1/6 c unsweetened organic with cinnamon applesauce, and 1/8 c unsweetened cocoa powder. This made about 16 cookies so you could definitely make a larger batch and freeze some for when you're craving an after dinner desert. I feel like you could add more chocolate or dark chocolate drizzle on top of the cookies and more protein by using yummy creamy vanilla powder;)

That is all for today! Interesting tea to come tomorrow.....
