Hey all! So classes started right after Labor Day and since I'm a full time student I've been doing a lot of homework and studying and less baking. :-( I also just recently started a part time job, so my social life and personal time will be extremely limited. I'll bake and cook whenever I can find the time, and I will find time because this is the best season for baking! Pumpkins, apples, and holidays galore!
So for this post, I have three smoothies to share and my go-to salad recipe. The next few posts will be baking because I did manage to get some time in a few weeks ago. So expect to see a granola recipe, a coffee cake, and pound cake. :-)
The first smoothie is a berry one, here's what you'll need:

The first smoothie is a berry one, here's what you'll need:
- 1 cup water
- 1 container of Fage fat-Free Greek Yogurt, or 3/4 cup of your favorite yogurt
- 1 cup frozen or fresh berries
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 packet of Stevia in the Raw
- 1 cup milk, I used non-sweetened vanilla almond milk
- 1 handful of spinach
- 1 banana
- 1/2 cup strawberries (frozen or fresh)
- 1 cup water
- 1 handful spinach
- 1/2-1 cup raspberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 banana
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
For the salad, I got the idea from those Eat This Not That! books as well as a local restaurant's menu. You will need:
- Spinach or Romaine lettuce
- Strips of cooked chicken
- 1 apple cut into small pieces
- 1/2 cup walnuts
- 1/2 cup crumbled cheese, feta or goat works well
