Greens Power







With summer creeping in, my smoothie cravings are increasing, especially post workout. Many other blogger friends have been raving about green smoothies. Green smoothies because they have added greens such as spinach or kale. At first I was skeptical, thinking the greens would add a bitter flavor to the smoothie. I am girl who loves new food experiences with a strong belief that everything should be tasted at least once. I decided on spinach because I have never been a big fan of kale. After demolishing my smoothie creation in a mere minutes the verdict is in. AMAZING! The spinach was a great compliment to the sweetness of the smoothies, loved it!
To anyone that is skeptical, give it a try, you will not be disappointed.

My Two Loves In One




Oh my goodness! I cannot wait to try this new cereal. These are 2 flavors that I just adore, blueberry and cinnamon. Will update later with a product review.
Well, I just finished my first bowl of this new cereal find and the verdict is 2 thumbs up. For my tasting I paired the cereal with 2 classics, a banana and 8th Continent soy milk. The cereal had just the right amount of sweetness from the blueberries to compliment the more smoky cinnamon flavor. I love the harder texture of the cereal allowing it to hold up longer. I hate eating soggy cereal. I already packed some for a snack at work tomorrow to pair with cottage cheese. I cannot wait!
