Sunday Morning Snacking

 I woke up this morning craving something sweet! As soon as I opened the fridge...the jelly was eyeing me and I just couldn't resist! I've always love jelly, but for some reason I haven't had it in a while. So it was perfect for a Sunday morning treat! ...what some of you might call breakfast!
 Honestly, hemp hearts go great with almost anything! It really is mind blowing how delish those little seeds are and I just can't help but sprinkle them on anything and everything!
Mmmm easy & delish! Even the smoothie was a great addition, but you can never go wrong with a little blending action in the a.m.

Orange You Glad It's Sunday

This morning I woke up surprisingly earlier than my usual Sunday wake up at 10:30 in time to get ready for church. Today I was up and kicking at 8 am! …and even more surprisingly, I woke up yesterday at 7:30am! I’m a typical morning person, but weekends aren’t usually my best. However, I can assure you that waking up early on the weekends is amazing! You can savor the whole day! Why waste your days off right?
So this morning I had a pick me up smoothie that I like to call, Orange You Glad It’s Sunday, catchy right? Ironic though because there isn’t actually any “oranges” in it…but it’s named after the color…duh :)

Kale Spinach Banana Berry Smoothie

Recently I've been trying and failing to make the perfect green smoothie! Not too sharp...not too sweet! There were times when the smoothie would turn out brown and terrible or the times when more spinach would end up on the floor rather than the smoothie maker...it took multiple tries. However, thankfully I have finally found the combination that works the best for me! However, I think I finally found the perfect way to incorporate both spinach and kale into my beloved fruit smoothies! Delicious and nutritious!

Suddenly I find my self having one, sometimes two, green smoothies everyday! You can easily say that I've become obsessed! Trust me, it's not hard too when they taste so yummy!
 And believe me when I say yummy! The sweetness from the fruit really covers any sharp flavors the kale would've created! Forget about adding sugar to mask the veggies, I get all of my sugars from natural foods...like fruit!
