Happy Thursday ~ it’s almost Friday! This is a quick post so bear with me 
Breakfast: Nature’s Path Vanilla Almond Flax Plus granola & Almond Milk.
Mid-AM Green Smoothie snack:
- 1 cup raw baby spinach
- 1 celery stalk
- 1 c frozen strawberries
- 1 raw carrot
- 1 c almond breeze
- 1/2 banana
- 1 T flax
Blend well & enjoy the fruit & veggie goodness! My goal is to have one of these every day for a week and see if I notice a difference
Lunch was pb & strawberries on Vermont wheat bread with a kiwi and a side of leftover veggies!
My mid-afternoon snack was a Yotta bar. I never had one before and bought this one a few weeks back, so I was kind of nervous about trying it. When I took a bite, my instant reaction was “blechhhhhhhh”… and sadly, the reaction continued. I ate half the bar and realized I couldn’t stomach it any longer so I threw it out. Gross!
However speaking of bars, Simply Fabulous is hosting a great Trek bar giveaway!
Ok well I’m off to do finish up the day, do 30 minutes of yoga and then head to meet my college roomies for a fun dinner date. We are going to Cheesecake Factory!!!!!!! Yay Sorry this is super short…
PS. Loved the responses on my 5K goal… I think I’m going to try to start a challenge / support group on the blog this weekend so we can focus on our goals together

oh no!!! i’m sorry to hear you’re not a fan of Yotta bars!! I think I tried one once and actually enjoyed it! Maybe i have messed up taste buds. hahaha
Wow I never even thought of the PB and stawberry sandwich combo. WHAT an awesome alternative to PBJ!!! So much fresher and so much better for you. Thank you for the great idea!
