Simple Smoothie Recipe

Okay, so today I was thinking what I should include on the blog and came up with a pretty good idea. I've been telling you I have been drinking these homemade milkshakes/smoothies right? Why not tell you some good recipes every now and then? They're healthy! They taste good! Come on, try it! You know you want to!

Fast Strawberry Yogurt Smoothie

Ingredients

• One cup (250 mL) plain low fat yogurt
• Four cups (1 L) of ripe strawberries
• Half a cup (125 mL) of fresh or 100% orange juice
• *Optional* 1 tsp of sugar or honey.

Directions

Put all ingredients into a blender and blend/chop/or whatever you do with your milkshakes for about 15-25 seconds. If the drink is not fully blended try blending for a few more seconds. This recipe does serve four people so feel free to make one for your friends or family. Especially if they come to workout with you! They make good breakfasts, snacks and healthy little "rewards" So go ahead! It's that easy! Oh man I sound like the 'Slap Chop' guy off those commercials... Hey! Maybe you could use a slap chop for those strawberries, huh?

Succeed together, fail together and conquer together!

Rough, Tough and Chocolate

Boy! Don't you hate it when Easter comes around and there is all this chocolate everywhere? Well I don't hate it cause I love chocolate but it's a tough time to be loosing weight. I got these little chocolate eggs with the coloured tin foil cause they look so good and plus it's kinda like a tradition in our family. It was a hard process on which to get them but hey, they say you should have at least 5 peice of chocolate a day. Don't take that from me cause I heard it on the radio and who knows where it came from. So since I've been back from holidays I have been working out like crazy! It is so busy with work and all it kinda just drains you out doesn't it? Rough and tough are the two words I would use for losing weight this time of year. I just got back from a fast and long bike ride. I also did 100 crunch-like things. I think I might do another 100 tonight. Today for lunch I had another salad. Twas very good indeed. I put lettuce, peppers, tomatoes, and all that jazz in there along with some straberries. Just so I felt I was eating right there was some pork chop to go along with that. I say try to make your salads interesting! It's more fun! Different and exciting salads are better than just normal ones that bore you to death every time you decide to have one! Come on try it. Think of some good things to put in there and then tell me what it is! I would love to try something new aswell! Stay STRONG! We all know how difficult that is this time of year! Succeed together, fail together and conquer together! J.
