Pineapple Banana Raspberry Yogurt Smoothie

Pineapple Banana Raspberry Yogurt Smoothie ... Bottoms UP!

I wanted something to show honor for those who continue to fight The Fight Of Breast Cancer. My Mom and Sister are Breast Cancer Survivors as well as several friends. It's important to give your love and support to those we love especially when they are going through the many trials within their lives. We are given a life that only we can live to the best of our abilities and when family and friends help, it makes it that much more special to enjoy. I chose this one to be my cover photo as a remembrance for me to continue to do what I need to do. When you are faced with seeing your loved ones develop a strength to get through difficulty, you gain a new found respect for your life. Watching my Mom and Sister encouraged me to become the best and not take my life for granted. 

The main thought for me to began making smoothies, was for my loved ones while going through chemo and was not able to eat regular meals. The smoothies were easier to digest and not so time consuming when trying to eat. 

If you are caring for a love one or friend who may be going through a life threatening battle of some sort, drinking smoothies can help them to maintain a good eating habit. For this smoothie the ingredients are as follows: 

 1c of Frozen Pineapples Tidbits
1c of Frozen Raspberry
2 Bananas peeled
1 1/2c of Greek Yogurt
6ozs of Coconut Water
Blend all ingredients until smooth and ENJOY! ♥

Strawberry Blood Orange Spring Salad

Strawberry Blood Orange Spring Salad ... Now Thatz GOOD EATN!

It's my belief that when you are to eat a salad, it should contain all that one plate can hold (your belly too for that matter). I'm not into to just the traditional salad plate consisting of, lettuce, cucumber and tomato. Although that was what we've known a salad was to consist of. 

To me, salads can be as adventurous as you are. When you look out on the tables and tables of goodies at the farmers market, the unique colors are so inspiring. So should your salad. As you began to smell the many fruits and vegetables, you can only imagine their taste, as it reaches your mouth and the satisfaction after you've eaten it. 

This salad is light and tasty to the very last bite ... It has fresh organic strawberries,  juicy blood oranges, seedless (english) cucumbers, delicious red seedless grapes, meaty heirloom tomatoes and slivers of red onion, all layered on a bed of fresh romaine salad greens. I chose to top it with a raspberry vinaigrette (you may use the dressing of your choice). 
Don't limit yourself when it comes to making a delicious and filling salad for you and your family. This salad can be served with a meat portion or, all by itself ... ENJOY! ♥

The Nutty Professor Strawberry Banana Chocolate Smoothie

The Nutty Professor Strawberry Banana Chocolate Smoothie ... Bottoms UP!

About five or six months ago I would have ran down to the Wendy's on the corner and got me a Chocolate Frosty. That thought is what prompted me to put this smoothie together. 

I wanted all my favorites in on place and I wanted to enjoy every single bit of delight voila! 

Chocolate, Banana, Strawberry and Yogurt with Nuts ???

1 1/2c Chocolate Almond Milk

1c Organic Vanilla Yogurt

2 Frozen Bananas chopped

7 Fresh Strawberries stems removed 

  

 I was anticipating the taste as I began to blend all the ingredients up. I knew this was not only going to be better than the Wendy's Frosty, it would be a healthy treat and I would enjoy the nuttiness of the chocolate almond milk. 

Not to mention the nuts on top!

 

Sometimes, you just gotta treat yourself to something good and healthy without the gilt of cheating and counting calories ...
