Green Smoothie Cups: A Drink of Champions


This is what I like to call
"A Drink of Champions"
but as reference
          we'll call them
"Green Smoothie Cups"

I cannot take credit
       for the following recipe
as I got it off Pinterest.
         {That one site I really like}
this particular "Pin"
       is under my fitness board.

This is perfect to make ahead of time
and a quick on-the-go smoothie option.

INGREDIENTS:
{Makes 12 Smoothie Cups = 6 Smoothies}
* 2 Cups Coconut Water
* 1/3 Cup Whole Natural Almonds
* 2 Cups Spinach
* 2 Celery Stalks
* 1/4 Cup Fresh Mint
* 1/2 Orange
* 1/2 Tsp Ginger Powder
* 2 Cups Frozen Mango Cubes {I used Tropical Fruit Mixture}

Put all ingredients into blender as listed above & mix well. Pour into muffin tins & freeze. To serve, take 2 smoothie cups along wth 1 cup coconut water {or regular water} & blend in blender. Drink upp! MMM...

STEP 1
STEP 2
STEP 3 {Remember to add 2 cups!}
STEP 4
STEP 5
STEP 6
STEP 7
STEP 8 {Remember to add 2 cups!}
STEP 9 --My blender needed a little assistance :)
STEP 10
STEP 11
STEP 12 {Stick in Freezer after all are filled}

PS....
I know these look gross and chunky
&& If you have a better blender
than my piece of crap
They'll be smoother.

{However,
they still taste WONDERFUL}
     No joke.. they're awesome.

Here's to a Healthier Me
              & YOU! :)

Banana Head

Banana Head...
        Literally.



This morning
I was getting breakfast ready
and had given Bella some Banana's
to keep her occupied.

Apparently she decided
she'd rather put one on her head
then eat it.

{I hadn't noticed the whole time
I was finishing up breakfast}

After a while
Baby Bella forgot she put it there
&& just kept eating the
rest of her Banana's.

I finally looked over &
started laughing so hard.

I kindly pointed it out to her
& she grabbed it
off her head.

What a great start to
         another beautiful day!
