after a little break... how about some smoothies?

Oh yeah. I have a blog!

It has been a crazy few months.

I know its April, but is it too late to still talk about how great 2012 was since I disappeared for a little bit?

It was probably the best year ever.  I had meet the love of my life and we quickly fell in love.  After almost an entire year of being together, he proposed, and of course, I said yes!  And this was all before the clock stuck 12:00 on New Years!

I know 2013 is going to be just as exciting.  Not only am I opening a new chapter of life after I graduate from college in about a month (*happy dance), but I get to experience it all with my best friend.  I truly feel blessed.

ANYWAY...

I've been on a smoothie kick lately.  It's starting to be a bad habit, but smoothies are sooo good.
I convinced my mom to buy a Vitamix, and I never thought a blender could be so much fun!  I've seriously enjoyed coming up with new smoothie recipes with this machine, and I thought I would share a couple of my favorite ones with you!

Strawberry-Lemonade Smoothie


1-2 banana, 1 lemon, 3-5 strawberries, 2 handfuls of spinach, 4 oz. of orange juice, 4-5 ice cubes, squirt of agave if it's too sour for you. Enjoy!

Green and Delicious!

  
1/2 avocado, 1 orange, 1 banana, handful of spinach, 4 ice cubes, and a little water. No extra sugar!
