Green Smoothie Goddess

I was always the girl that judged others for their green smoothie addiction. While I love smoothies the thought of adding spinach or kale was just obnoxiously disgusting. A couple weeks ago my aunt made her and I each a green smoothie for dessert. The color of it was less than appealing, but since she\’s never steered me wrong I gave it a try. To my surprise it was a fruity masterpiece of healthy goodness. Seriously, I couldn\’t taste the spinach at all. Since then I have been having a green smoothie daily and below you\’ll find my favorite recipe.

 I recently wanted to add some protein to my smoothies and had the opportunity to try out Manitoba Harvest\’s Hemp Hearts – I think I eat more out of the bag than I add actually add to my smoothie. They\’re one of my new favorite products. Definitely a great fiber and protein addition to any smoothie.

Insta Lately

I haven\’t done an \”Insta Lately\” post in awhile and I thought since fall has officially arrived it presented the perfect opportunity to share my world lately.

Fall Romance

Over the weekend a couple girlfriends and I got together. We enjoyed our fair share of romantic comedies and fondu. While we talked we realized that not only were the three of us single but our summer was filled (well some of ours ;)) with one-night stands and fleeting short-term relationships. Fall was coming (it’s now arrived and it’s 80 here in Michigan – makes no sense) and that would present the opportunity for new connections as we curl up together in blankets and spend quality time near a roaring fire. When the weather turns crisp and cooler those of us who didn’t want a summer relationship tend to now crave a fall one, actually a relationship that will carry on further than fall.
Fall allows us to be vulnerable and not only does it set the trees on fire, but it sets our hearts on fire as well. So while I experienced the best summer I have had in a long time, my heart is ready to be vulnerable this fall – what’s your plan for your heart this fall.
