Strawberry Fields Smoothie

If you follow me on Pinterest you may have noticed that I've been pinning a lot of smoothie recipes lately.  One of the Christmas presents I got this year was a Ninja blender and I've been trying to use it as much as possible.  Since I'm in the car a lot these days I really want to try to incorporate more smoothies into my routine so I can make sure I'm getting my fruits and veggies.

One of my favorite juice bars in Dallas has awesome smoothies so I checked out their website for a few recipes.  They have an awesome page called Drinks For Ailments that lists out which of their products would be good for certain ailments.  The Strawberry Fields smoothie kept popping up so I decided to check that one out.  They claim it's great for the following:

  • Acne (how is it fair that I have wrinkles and pimples?)
  • Allergies (we all know I have those year round)
  • Bloat
  • Hangover
  • High cholesterol and high blood pressure
  • Stress
  • Fatigue
After buying a few of their smoothies I decided to see if I could duplicate it at home.


























What you'll need:
  • 2 green apples - juiced
  • 1 handful of strawberries
  • 2 handfuls of spinach
  • 1 banana
What you do:

Throw 2 green apples in your juicer (that's all the juice that I could get out of 2, anyone else have that problem?) then throw all ingredients in your blender and mix together.


























Looks kinda gross but tastes amazing.  Also this isn't even half of the recipe.  It definitely makes 1 good size smoothie and one smaller smoothie.  The one you buy in store is a little more pink but they taste pretty dang close to the same.  

If yall have any favorite smoothie recipes please send them my way!

March Goals



























I know I didn't show up to do February Goals but I'm back in action for March.  I am finding myself super motivated right now so I'm hoping that lasts through the month and I can knock these goals out!

March Goals
1. Workout 5-6 times a week
I'm really hoping it's 6 times a week but I'm leaving myself that wiggle room just in case.

2. Procrastinate less
I have gotten into a really bad habit of not paying a bill til the day it's due or leaving laundry to sit until the last minute.  I would really like to break this habit this month.

3. Try 4 new workouts 
I have 2 new ones scheduled this week so fingers crossed I hit this one early.

4. Stay on top of my workload
Now that I've been through my first bi-monthly program, I think I know better what I need to prepare a head of time so I'm not scrambling at the end of the month to get stuff done.

5. Get decorations hung on my walls
I still have not hung 1 stinking thing on my walls and it is killing me.  This month I vow to get frames and artwork hung and photographed so yall can finally see some of my bachelorette pad!

Now I want to hear from you guys!  What are yalls goals for this month?

Weekending: Stars Game, Girls Night Out, and a Recipe!



























Is it just me or was this Monday harder than others to wake up?  I think with last week being so off because of the ice storms in Dallas, my brain and body are confused!

This weekend was a fun one to say the least!  Back in December I gave my Dad tickets to the Stars game for Christmas.  He has seen every other major league sport and really wanted to go to a hockey game.  He flew in Friday night and we had a blast even though the Stars lost in the shootout.



























However it would have been more fun if my favorite hockey player had been on the ice!












Saturday after Dad headed back home I got ready and met a few of the girls our for dinner and drinks.  We had a great time despite being served a $14 drink that I didn't order and running into a few incredibly rude Dallas douchebags.  I seriously have to just shake my head at some people!  We may have stayed out a little too late and ordered a little too much at Whataburger.



























Someone please explain to me why I have TONS of eyemakeup on in that last pic and you can't even tell!  I need a makeover fairy godmother for sure (how fun would that be?)

Sunday was spent grocery shopping and making this amazing recipe that Biana post about last week.  So delicious and easy to throw together!

This week is going to be insane between working a ton at Pure Barre and trying to take full advantage of my ClassPass.  It's time to get serious about Operation Bikini Body!

I hope yall have a fabulous week and stay warm.  These darn freezing temperatures can go back to the North where they came from!

Linking up with Biana!
