Summer Time Sweetness

Hey you! First of all do let me apologize for the ridiculous lack of content. I have been so fed up with everything that is going on that I barely have any time anymore. I am going to try to squeeze in a little time for blog posts, so expect some good 'ol stuff coming. I have something quick, simple and so delicious for today. I love ice cream, and I will never say no to it, another thing that I love is juice & smoothies, and since things are starting to be back in season I picked up some fruit and made these little guys happen!

They are literally so easy to make, all you'll want to do is juice/blend any sort of fruit with water/coconut water/orange juice or whatever your heart desires. Then you'll want to cut up some fruit, stick 'em all in the little pop containers and BOOM! you are almost done. Just freeze and in a couple of hours you will have some refreshing summer treats. 

these ones are honeydew melon blended with water with pineapple & peaches bits, as well as some blueberries & kiwi slices. 

This one is a strawberry puree with blueberries, mango & peach chunks. 

From top to bottom: Honeydew, strawberry puree & papaya mixed with some cantaloupe. 

Enjoy!

Sunday Smoothie Day

I have been slacking big time with my smoothies. I have been slacking with being healthy in general. So today I decided to get myself back on track. 

I blended one frozen banana, a cup of mixed mangoes, peaches & pineapple, a handful of kale and some spinach as well. Half a grapefruit and some water to blend. I added some maca powder, some nutrivitae plus blend and an omega blend as well, this one has flax & chia seeds as well as brown rice. It keeps you full!

I then sprinkled some hemp & chia seeds.

ENJOY!

Breakfast | Oatmeal Pancakes

It finally feels like spring! All the annual flowers have begun to bloom & my tulips are looking great! I've been feeling like I should get back on my healthy kick, so I decided to start off the day with a different view on oatmeal. Don't get me wrong, sometimes I do like to have some oatmeal for breakfast, but having the same thing everyday can quickly get to me. So last night I searched for the healthiest oatmeal pancakes. So this morning I decided to take over the kitchen...

Obsessing over my tulips :)

I know this is a very odd angle but... it works!

Oatmeal Pancakes: Yields about 8 small pancakes

1 cup of oats

1 cup of coconut flower

1/4 of a cup of bisquick 

1 1/2 of Original Soy Milk

1 large egg

1 tbsp of vanilla extract

1 tbsp of raw brown sugar

& a dash of cinnamon

Aside from loading my pancakes with fruit I drizzled a bit of organic maple syrup on them! 

Enjoy!

Smoothie Lovin'

I go through my smoothie cravings. I have a smoothie just about every day, twice a day. I can easily get sick of having the same thing over and over and over, but there are so many different options and the possibilities are endless. These are three of my favorite. 

 The green smoothie:

A cup of spinach, half a peach, half a green apple, half a pear, 1/2 cup of frozen mango chunks, half a banana & the juice of a large orange. 

I also added water to it since the juice of an orange may not be enough.

I also threw in a tablespoon of chia seeds & a teaspoon of raw maca powder. 

The pink smoothie:

Five large strawberries, one frozen banana & a cup of almond milk.

I added raw maca powder to this one!

The purple smoothie:

A handful of blue berries, a cup of strawberries, 2 tablespoons of Chobani vanilla Greek yogurt & a cup of vanilla soy milk. I also added a tablespoon of chia seeds!
