They are a great way to use up any over ripe fruit.
Add any of the following combinations: milk (soy, almond, diary), ice, yogurt (homemade, Greek, plain), whey protein (vanilla, chocolate), flaxseeds, chia seeds, hemp seeds, oats, etc, etc.
Blend away, check the taste and consistency, and Viola!
In this Strawberry-Banana Smoothie I added:
homemade yogurt (flavored with honey and vanilla), splash of skim milk, banana, strawberries and ground flaxseed
Memorial Day Fun
Man, were we blessed with a beautiful Memorial Day weekend or what?!?
J and I took full advantage of the sun...
J and I took full advantage of the sun...
We took the opportunity to go on our first open water swim of the season. Actually, it was J's second...his first resulted in swimmer's itch and it looked like he had chicken pocks :)
We then set up our own mini triathlon to prepare for the upcoming tri season!
One of the benefits of LONG bike rides through the country is you get to see Iowa's peaceful and beautiful countryside. J came upon this field of wild flowers.
Who says Iowa isn't gorgeous!?!?!?!

After about 6 high school graduation parties (and lots of cake) on Saturday he drove me out to it for a good photo opt.

Big Ol' Salad
with all this biking, swimming, and running....we're hungry!
Salad Fixins: Romaine lettuce, baby spinach, avocado, bean sprouts, apple slices, cottage cheese, steamed broccoli, shredded chicken breast, and Penzeys Italian Salad dressing.
(J's trying to figure out what in the world I am feeding him)
On our last day of fun...Ryan and Robin invited us over to their pool for wine spritzers and relaxation! Thanks again!
Hope everyone had a memorable Memorial Day!
Until next time...
look good, feel good, do good
