I love smoothies! I also love spinach…but spinach in smoothies? I had my doubts. I decided to try making one anyway. I was very pleasantly surprised. Other than the color, I would have never guessed from the taste that there was spinach in there. It was sweet and fruity and smooth, like any other smoothie!
My Recipe:
-
1 cup frozen fruit (or fresh fruit with ice cubes)
- 1 handful of spinach
- 1 container of chobani greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup of milk/whatever milk substitute you want
I used frozen peaches and pineapple, peach chobani, and milk with a little splash of vanilla. There are no real instructions…just put everything in the blender, put the lid on, and blend until smooth.
I have been really busy since Sunday and I am spending the week at my grandparents’ house this week helping them train their puppy, so I have not been able to update on here for a few days. Here are my workouts since Sunday:
Sunday afternoon:
1.5 mile run- It was an extremely busy day. This was all I had time for, but it was still a nice little run! It was a beautiful day and I enjoyed running outside!
Monday:
30 minute run- I got up fairly early, ate breakfast, got in my running clothes and was about to head out when my grandfather asked me if I wanted to go to the store with him. I cannot say no to him, he’s so sweet, so I went with him. In my running clothes. I was one of those people. Ha, I don’t really mind if other people want to wear their workout clothes to the store, but I don’t do it if I can help it. Once we got back, it was starting to get warm outside, which is why I wanted to go earlier, but I went anyway. It wasn’t too bad out there. I managed to find my way back without getting too last! Yippee!
Today:
25 minute run and a walk with the dog- I did not get up quite as early today and it was already quite warm outside when I started my run. I was about 5 minutes down the road when my phone rang and I had to take the call. I was a bit annoyed by the interruption, but it was not too long before I was running again. When I got back I took the dog on a little walk and my grandfather came with me.
I think later I might want to do something else, but I am not sure yet. It depends on how much work comes in.
I hope everybody had a very good Memorial Day!
