Blueberry Almond Smoothie
This blueberry Almond Smoothie is only 4 ingredients (yes, 4!) and blends into a smooth, creamy and healthy morning treat. So who is on a health kick? I know I am. Vin and I spent 5 days in Cabo San Lucas for one of my best friend's weddings (Congrats again Ali and Taylor!) where we indulged in seafood, quesadillas and one too many beers. It was wonderful, but we knew when we got back home, it was time to buckle down and get into a healthy routine again. Side note...if you haven't been to … [Read more...]
Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Milkshake
When it's hot we eat ice cream. Scroll to the bottom to learn how to Win a Hamilton Beach Wave-Action® Blender! I'm totaling lying to you. We eat ice cream way too much...if you can even eat ice cream too much? But...37 weeks pregnant? I'm not going to worry about it at this very moment. And it's been SO hot. Like 100 degrees hot and ice cream just cools me right down and makes me feel all cold and icy inside. It's wonderful. So Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Milkshakes. … [Read more...]

Strawberry Sunrise Smoothie
Well it's raining cats and dogs here. So glad I'm sharing this Strawberry Sunrise Smoothie with you. No really though, I am! It's about time we have something sunny and bright in our lives right? Spring is technically here, but it has yet to show its beautiful face, so I am currently focusing on strawberries to get myself through it. I have been buying them for weeks from Mariano's and they have been decently priced and very good! Bright, red, tangy and sweeeeeeet. I eat a ton of … [Read more...]
Berry Smoothie
It's seems like it's about the right time to share something fruity. And healthy. Spring is technically 14 days away. A lot of us are thinking YEAH RIGHT with all this snow on the ground and cold temps. Just because it's cold out doesn't mean we can't start thinking about Spring right? It also doesn't change the fact that Spring Break is around the corner. Oh how I miss those days. No more Spring Breaks for me. I sure hope you're going somewhere! A Berry Smoothie is the perfect way … [Read more...]
