Banana Almond Smoothie

I have been on the Shaklee 180 weight management program for 3 weeks now and I can’t even begin to explain how good I feel every time I drink my daily energizing smoothie. I love all 4 of the rich creamy and delicious flavor. When I have time in the morning I will blend up my smoothies with some fruits and/or vegetables for more nutrition and to change it up from day to day.

One of my favorite fruits to add to my smoothies would have to be bananas. I love them fresh or frozen and it blends well with so many flavors. Today I used the the Vanilla Energizing Smoothie although I love bananas with the Chocolate and Strawberry Energizing Smoothee as well.

You will need:

1 Cup Milk

1/2 Banana

1 Teaspoon Slivered Almonds (Blend in the blender first before adding any ingredients to get them finally chopped)

1 Scoop of Shaklee Physique Natural Banana (This is an amazing for muscle recovery after you work out)
1 Scoop of Shaklee 180 Energizing Vanilla Smoothee mix.

Ice (Blend until creamy)

I would love to know that you like to put into your smoothies. I am always looking to try out new smoothies and new ingredients, are there any you think I just have to try?

Thank you all for reading and for following along.

Chocolate Covered Banana Smoothee!

For the past 2 weeks I have had the privilege on being able to get up every morning at 5:30A.M. to go over to my Fiancés house to work out! This has been an amazing experience for the both of us and we are going to be continuing to do so until our wedding. Being that I am not a morning person, I get more excited about my breakfast smoothee I have after I work out then actually working out lol. Well at least for now, maybe that will change later. My fiancé is a total morning person and he is convinced that he is going to convert me. 😉 We will see, maybe I will convert him!

I also like to change things up from day to day. This morning I had what I like to call a Chocolate Covered Banana Shaklee 180 Smoothee. It is the best breakfast for any morning. It fills you up for a good couple of hours and it leaves you feeling satisfied and healthy.

You will need:

1 Cup Milk

1/2 Banana

1 Scoop of Shaklee Physique Natural Banana (This is an amazing for muscle recovery)
1 Scoop of Shaklee 180 Energizing Chocolate Smoothee mix. (For an extra chocolaty flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon of cocoa)

Ice (Blend until your favorite consistency)

Are you a morning person like my fiancé or are you more of a night owl like I am?

Do you have smoothies in the morning? If so, what is your favorite recipe? I would love to give it a try!

Apple Slices Sprinkled with Cinnamon

I can’t tell you how may times I have gotten bored or just happen to wander into the kitchen and open the fridge. Whether I am hungry or not I always seem to roam towards the kitchen. I know it’s not a good habit, although I have learned to make good and healthy food instead of most of the quick ready-made foods. One of my personal favorite things to eat is freshly cut apple slices, sprinkled with cinnamon. It is simply amazing and it seriously like a treat. It is so easy to make and even easier to eat.

This is simply amazing! Did I mention how easy it is to make and even easier to eat. Now that I have told you how much I love it, now it is your time to tell me how much you love it! Have you ever tried apple slices with cinnamon?

Cucumber Melon Infused Water

I wrote earlier this summer about lemon and mint infused water. Now I want to share with you another one of my personal favorites: Cucumber Melon. It doesn’t get much easier than infused water, it is so refreshing and easy to make. For those of you who don’t know, I am from the Chicago land area and we hit record high this summer, we had over 50 days in the 90 degree weather. If you have even been to Chicago you know that 90 degrees feels like over 100 degrees with the humidity. Need-less-to-say having a nice ice cold glass of infused water is so very refreshing.
