The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

IMG_0397Blog

Happy Holiday to all!

IMG_0394Blog

We celebrated with a honkin’ smoothie in a bowl made with all of those plump strawbs from yesterday!

IMG_0403Blog

Can’t-Have-Too-Many-Berries Smoothie

Serves TWO

  • 2 cups fresh plump strawberries
  • 1 small banana
  • 1.5 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • Toppings: Hemp Plus granola, buckwheat groats, puffed quinoa, sunflower butter

IMG_0399Blog

IMG_0401Blog

I brewed peppermint + rooibos teas in a pot on the stove and poured them over ice. It was good, but Matt’s iced coffee looked better!

IMG_0406Blog

IMG_0396Blog

It maybe be a holiday, but it’s a workday in our family. I’m going to Body Pump and then to the bakery for the rest of the day.

    True story: you can never have too many berries! Looks delicious! For what it’s worth, today was a working day for me (and the rest of the working population in Mumbai 🙂 )

      Well it’s actually not a holiday in the true sense. It’s a day of remembrance. I thought Kath would have at least acknowledged that.

    Still counting down until it’s strawberry season here. We have a few more weeks to go!

    At least you and Matt get one day off together each week. Can’t believe your opening is in just a few days. You must be getting super excited!

    Let’s face it, for me at least, iced coffee will always trump tea. Coffee, period, always trumps tea. Except when I was pregnant, then tea won. But I am a coffee girl at heart.

    I posted about iced coffee the other day…I take anything I dont drink fresh, throw it in the fridge, and that’s my coffee that’s waiting for me the next day for iced coffee. (saw the person above me’s comment and your reply).

    Or I take it and pour it over ice cube trays. Coffee ice cubes.

    I waste nothing. Even old coffee. lol

    So I made my first smoothie using cottage cheese the other day. It was very good! I wasn’t sure about putting cottage cheese in at first, since it is a {little} salty but I was pleasantly surprised 🙂 Looks like a yummy breakfast. Good luck at the bakery today!

    I actually had nearly the same exact breakfast this morning! so incredibly yummy 🙂 but my question for you is, how do you make your nut butter drizzles look so pretty? when I do mine it always turns out a little bit unsightly

      The only nut butter to drizzle like that is sunflower butter! It’s just SO drippy

    I just found crunchy sunflower seed butter, and it’s so much more like crack than the smooth one! The same smooth drizzliness, but packed with merga-crispy roasted whole sunflwoer seeds. To die for!
