Breakfast (Smoothie) of Champions!




I've been a little lazy with the cooking and blogging lately, but now that we're starting to get settled here in Florida, I'm trying to get back on the bandwagon.

This is a very simple and easy breakfast (or dessert) smoothie that is also ridiculously healthy
and ridiculously delicious. (I just finished mine and I'm considering making another one for lunch).

Do NOT, I repeat, do NOT be deterred by its green hue! It tastes nothing like "green" as some people might say... and I think the color is actually quite pretty.



Here we go! Ingredients:

- 1 frozen banana
- a handful of spinach (this is not much)
- 2 dashes of cinnamon
- a dash of nutmeg
- about a cup of coconut milk (or any other milk you like)






Directions:
Put everything into a blender (or nutribullet, which is what I used), and blend until smooth. Drink!


Now some of you might be wondering, 'what's so great about a smoothie with bananas and spinach in it? And what's up with the cinnamon and nutmeg!?' 

Well, besides all the ingredients being yummy, here's why they are also really good for you:

Spinach

Nutmeg



Happy Blending! :)

A Happy, Hungry, Healthy Life...in the Sunshine State!

My good excuse for not blogging in a month? We finally moved to Florida!!!!! The last few weeks have been very hectic - and I loved every minute of it.
Sitting here in our new, beautiful, spacious apartment, in the sunshine state, feels really, really good.

Today is the bf's first day at his new job, so our mini-moving-vacation is over I guess, but school doesn't start for another month, so I'll be home, with plenty of time to blog!

Here are a few photos of our new home!
