Super Busy & The Green Monster!

Well life has been super busy lately. I am taking a night class, trying to keep up with the daily homework, working full time and being a mother and wife. There just doesn’t seem to be enough hours in the day.

I came across a wonderful blog last month, Iowa Girl Eats. She has great healthy recipes on her site, including this Green Monster. At first I figured it would taste pretty gross when looking at the ingrediants, but it is actually VERY good! I am totally hooked. It is filled with vitamins and will give you an energy boost!

Here’s the recipe:

  • 1/2 scoop vanilla whey protein powder
  • 1/2 Tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond breeze
  • 1 Tablespoon almond butter
  • 1 frozen banana
  • enough spinach to fill the blender to the top!
  • Place all the ingrediants into the blender, except for the banana, blend. Then add the frozen banana and blend again, Enjoy!!

      Hey just wanted to pop in over here and say thanks for the sweet comment today.

      Also, I got a little bit of angry email today from some Canadian folks who thought I was anti-Canadian, and since you commented on it too, I just wanted to clarify with ya…

      I actually LOVE Canada. In fact, I spent two glorious years living there! Dated several sweet Canadian guys, even got my driver’s license there… it just wasn’t the place we were supposed to live in the end, and the same went with my husband. When he began the naturalization process, he was attending college in the states, and had no family to live with in Canada, and it would have been a real hardship for him. I swear, with all the love in my heart, I didn’t make that comment as a derrogatory thing, and I’m awfully sorry if you were somehow offended. I really do LOVE Canadians…. some of the most friendly people on earth!

      Blessings,
      Sasha
