Kefir Smoothie

Kefir?? Yup, that's exactly what I thought when a coworker told me about a smoothie she drinks every Saturday to keep things moving. Think Activia but better- in smoothie form.

Kefir is a probiotic milk that is perfect for making smoothies. No ice required. I describe it as effervescent. It really does help in the aid of digestion and makes me feel better.

Kefir comes in plain, unsweetened and then other flavors already mixed in- Berry and even Coffee flavored! I prefer the plain, unsweetened because it allows me to control what I'm putting inside me.

It's so flippin' delish that I've actually replaced a few of my dinners with it. It's perfect for a day when there is a potluck (aka Mooo!) at work and I nosh on everything and the waistband becomes a wee bit uncomfy.

My recipe:

1 C. Kefir
Cereal sized bowl of strawberries with the tops cut off.
1/2 C. blueberries
2 tsp Agave nectar.

Please try it and let me know!

Hugs,

My favorite new breakfast- Overnight Oats.

Alright, I've come to the realization that on  my 5'3" frame can't handle anymore crappy food. My health and not to mention my midsection is taking a lickin'. Yes, I know that if I actually worked out, it'd be a lot better, but quite honestly, I don't want to. I've got more interesting things to do at the moment...like being lazy. (Don't judge me!)

Anyways, I've never liked oatmeal at all but when I came across this recipe, I figured I had the stuff- why not try it? I've pinned it on my Pinterest board, but here it is: Pepper Lynn's

I've stuck to one recipe that satisfies my serious sweet tooth and I can honestly say that it keeps me full well into the work day: unsweetened cocoa, mashed up 'nana, a little squeeze of agave nectar and a spoonful of peanut butter...mmm!

Yes, I even use the mason jars. They're perfect!

This was a better deal for the amount- bought at Publix.



Any Vanilla Greek yogurt will do, this just happen to be the only vanilla at the store.




Prepping.



Just some of the add-ins... yummy yummy yummy I got love in my tummy!

Charlie thought I was greedy to not offer the foil lid for him to lick, so I caved...

So...freakishly...yummy...

Even Madeline got in on the action!
