Five on Friday: Week Seven



Happy Friday!
Sorry I missed last week but I am back in the game this week! 
Enjoy your weekend!



I want to try to start eating healthier and am interested in substituting some snacks or even like breakfast or lunch with a smoothie. Have you tried any smoothie recipes lately that you love?!? Any suggestions or recommendations on making them ahead of time and "storing" them? Do you use just a regular glass or do you have some type of cup, especially for on the go, that you use?
 Any tips would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!! :)



 

I know I am a little late to jump on the frozen yogurt band wagon but I have lately fell in LOVE with fro-yo. There is a place really close to our house that I tried a couple of different times and did not see what all the fuss was about.  But, I have found another local place just a little bit further and it is so YUMMY!
Is it bad that I want to substitute some of my meals and just eat frozen yogurt now?!?





I recently tried these crackers and they are so good! They come in a variety of flavors but my favorite is the Cinnamon & Brown Sugar one, it tastes like a big teddy graham!
It is a great alternative to my pop-tarts that I normally turned to! ;)

For those of you who, like myself, have been in a gloomy, wintry state for the past 3-4 months... how great was it have some sunshine and near 60 degree weather recently!?!?!
Wednesday I even raked my lawn in a long sleeve shirt and jeans, it felt amazing to say the least!
Now, if only it would show up and stay that way!!

  2. I just made smoothies this this week for breakfast. I used frozen mixed berries, fat free vanilla yogurt and almond milk. Very delicious! I have the recipe scheduled to be posted soon for our recipe swap linkup.

  3. I love making smoothies! If you have a high powered blender, add in 1-2 cups of spinach and you’ll sneak in extra veggies. I swear it tastes better than it looks!

  4. I love making smoothies (can't wait for warmer weather so I can sit outside and sip on them). My go to is 1 banana, 5-7 strawberries, handful of blueberries, handful of spinach, some almond milk (probably about a quarter cup) and sometimes I add a little vanilla protein powder. I used frozen strawberries and blueberries, because then I don't have to add ice, and I can store the frozen fruit a lot longer than fresh. I usually do all three fruits, but any combo of the two is yummy, and you can't even taste the spinach, but you're still getting the nutrients from it. I usually just pour mine in to a big glass and add a straw at home, but using some kind of tumbler would be great on the go.

    1. Thanks for the recommendation on the recipe Ericka! Will have to try. I definitely think that using the frozen fruit is a great idea!!
