Happy Friday, friends!
I hope you had a good and productive week and are ready for the weekend. I know I am!
First things first – as promised in the headline, here’s the best smoothie recipe I came up with so far. Really liked it! So here we go.
Ingredients
- 1 apple
- 1 banana (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup watermelon cubes
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 1/2 cup fat free cottage cheese
- 1 tbsp honey
- 3-4 fresh mint leaves
Instructions
- Get the ingredients ready
- Cut watermelon and apple into cubes, add to blender.
- Cut the banana (if you're using it fresh not frozen) and add to blender. I prepared mine the night before and put it in the freezer:
- Add milk, cottage cheese, mint and honey to the mix.
- Blend well, then whip for a few seconds.
- Enjoy:
Yesterday morning, my husband successfully recreated Kimberly’s Breakfast Sandwich:
It was sooooo good! I had some fruit on the side, too.
It was a busy day at work, we didn’t have the kids last night, so we decided to go out for lunch to Chinese buffet. I love this place! It puts to the test all the good habits I am trying to establish in eating – how do you not overeat having all this delicious fresh food in front of you, right? I still had a big filling meal, but I tried to make smart choices as to what I ate.
The wonderful part of it was the sushi chef – she made me 2 flowers out of napkins 🙂 I took a picture with the fortune cookie quote I got last night.
We were planning to go to the pool after dinner, but the Weather Center issued a tornado and severe thunderstorm warning, so we decided to stay at home and spend a quiet evening together.
While it was still light outside, I took some pictures of my garden to share with you guys.
My cucumbers and second round of radishes
- Yellow-to-be bell peppers
Grape tomatoes
Regular (whatever huge type) tomatoes
Mint, mint, mint
I love mint! Last year my neighbor gave me a small plant and this year it completely took over one of the vegetable beds in my garden. I use a lot of mint in the summer time, and also freeze a lot of it for winter in small zip lock bags. Open it in winter – it’s as good as fresh!
Fitness front? Oh, there was no fitness last night – just Chinese buffet 🙂 🙂 🙂
What did you do last night?
Stay fit, my friends, and have a great weekend!
