Banana Smoothie

Alright, so I just had the most amazing smoothie of my life. Minutia, I know, but you must try this. I always throw my bananas in the freezer when they are too brown, so I had some on hand. Take the frozen banana (peel it!) and put it in a blender with 1 cup almond milk, 1 T almond butter, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and blend. If your banana isn't frozen, make sure it is really ripe and add some ice as well. Blend. The recipe called for ground flaxseed as well, but I couldn't find mine. Anyway, the most amazing smoothie. It makes 2 servings, but I had them both. So I guess that means a little less dinner :) Thank you Jillian for that treat.



On another note, workout 2 is finished. Even harder than yesterday! I like how the Body Revolution system is set up. Yesterday I worked the front muscles of my body, and today I worked the back. I probably won't be able to climb stairs tomorrow. Lunges are my new nemesis. Tomorrow is cardio, then back around to front of the body muscles. One day at a time. I can do this. So can you.

  1. I'm on a diet too! I work at a place where the food is decadent and I packed my own awesome food. Lots of shredded carrots and cucumbers with a splash of olive oil and a hint of balsamic vineagar. We're all rocking it. thanks for the inspiration!

  2. It's so hard when you are surrounded by delicious treats!! I found that packing my own food is KEY to not breaking the diet. What kind of diet are you on? I'm glad I can help inspire. I love hearing others stories; it helps me to not feel so alone on the journey!
