_DSC7718ashleebrookephotoI am a huge fan of green smoothies.  I feel wrong if I go a day or two without drinking them haha.  It has become a habit, and you should get into this habit too, because it is super healthy and makes your skin glow.  Seriously it does.

I started drinking them about 3 years ago every single day, and I have tested out a few and gotten ideas from different websites and juice shops.  This recipe is what I have been drinking the past month and I am obsessed.  I usually switch it up after a while because I get bored, but here it is.

This will make 2 servings.

Step 1. Pour 1 cup Coconut Milk, and 1 cup water.

Step 2. add as many greens as possible. I use Kale and Spinach, so grab about two big handfuls of each and pack it in the blender.

Step 3.  Add in 1 cup raspberries, and 1 cup frozen mango.  I got my frozen mango from Costco.

Step 4. Add in 2 tablespoons of flaxseed.  I ran out of Chia Seed, but I put 2 tablespoons of that too.

Step 5. Blend away and enjoy!  

I usually drink this in the afternoon.  I don’t usually have time in the mornings with the babe, but Its packed with nutrients and you can get your daily veggies and fruits. 

This recipe is meant for two, but if you just want it for one cut the recipe in half. 

I use the BLENDTEC which by the way is the BEST blender I have ever had.  I personally like blending rather than juicing because I feel like juicing takes important nutrients out of the drink.  This blender will blend it right up and is SO fast.  It doesn’t leave any gritty texture.

HEALTHY EATS: PROTEIN PANCAKES

Posted on by — 1 Comment ↓
My good friend introduced me to these protein pancakes a few weeks ago, and I literally have had them for breakfast everyday ever since.  It feels like I am cheating, it’s that good!  The recipe kinda sounds funky, but just trust me on this!  It’s a great way to get your protein in for the day, and it keeps you feeling full.  I have come to learn along the way that breakfast is the most important part of the day.  It will change your whole day, and you won’t get as hungry as fast throughout your day.
I always make time for this meal, because it is my absolute favorite meal of the day!  It’s good motivation to get myself out of bed haha.  If you are on the go, just make it the night before and put it in some tupperware, or I usually just mix the ingredients at night and throw it on the pan in the morning, and put it in some tupperware.  It literally will take you only 10 minutes!Follow recipe below, also pictures of what you need.

Here is a list of what you will need
1. Magic bullet, or blender
2. Dry Oats
3.  Cottage Cheese (I use fat free)
4. 2 eggs
5. Cinnamon
6. Pure Vanilla
7.  Measuring cupsToppings
1. Maranatha Peanut Butter (my favorite)
2. Walden Farms calorie free blueberry sryup (local whole foods, or sprouts)
3. Fresh blueberries

Nutritional facts

Step 1- Separate 2 egg whites from yolks and pour into blender.
Step 2- Pour 1/4 cup of oats into the blender
Step 3-  Pour 1/4 cup cottage cheese into the blender
Step 4- Pour a dash of pure vanilla into blender
Step 5- Sprinkle a dash of cinnamon to your liking (I like a lot)
Step 6- Blend all ingredients together, and pour on pan.  It should take about 1 minute per side to cook, but when it starts to bubble, it’s usually ready.
Add toppings to your liking, I use 1 tablespoon of peanut butter, and BAM deliciousness heaven in your mouth, and your day just somehow becomes perfect after that!  They are wonderful if you are sick of your plain old eggs whites, and toast, or protein shake, or oatmeal.  Please give them a try!Also, another secret is to put them in your blender overnight, and they will be more fluffy when you make them in the morning.
If you are wanting a little more, and I sometimes do this, just double the recipe, so 1/2 cup of everything, and I use 3 egg whites.

Who says you can’t enjoy life and eat good delicious healthy food that you don’t feel hungry afterwards?!  These changed my life, and I hope they changed yours!

ENJOY!!
