As a girl on a new health kick, I've been trying to find ways to get more servings of fruits in my daily diet.  I bought some Activia yogurt and just could not get myself to eat it everyday.  Don't get me wrong, it is quite good, but I am just not a yogurt girl.  So after a little bit of experimenting, I found a way to get a full serving of the yogurt, plus servings of both strawberries and bananas!  And the result was absolutely delicious!!  To me it tasted just like Jamba Juice. 

Here is the recipe for Strawberry Banana Activia Smoothie:

Ingredients (for 2 servings):

10 Frozen Strawberries (wash and de-stem before you freeze!)

2 Strawberry Activia Yogurts

1 Banana

A splash of milk

 

Recipe:

BLEND IT ALL TOGETHER!  It's that simple!

 

Enjoy!!

So, on one of my earlier posts, Online Shopping on a Budget, I list tons of shops and sites that have clothing and accessories that are similar to the style of Forever 21.  Since I'm sure we all love Forever 21, but are kind of sick of it, I thought the list would be useful!  However, one of the comments I got brought up a good point.  Where are the plus size clothes?? Some of the sites on the list do have plus size clothing, but just browsing through to find it is a pain in the neck (especially if you find cute stuff that doesn't come in your size).  So here is a different list of cute plus size sites like Forever 21.  Let me know if you have any additions to the list!

While I was trying to get my craftiness flowing, I decided to keep this project simple (so I knew I couldn't mess up!)  Actually, that's a little bit of a lie.  I did mess up a bit on the full martini glass decorating so I'm just posting the bottom!! :)

Enjoy!

All you need is two colored paint pens and a cheap wine or martini glass and voila!

I was just craving a nice, somewhat healthy, easy, BUT different lunch.  Turkey sandwiches are getting old, and so instead I put together a combination of a tomato avocado salad and a grilled cheese.  The verdict: Deliciously bright and awesome for a simple yet decadent lunch!

Ingredients:

2 pieces of whole wheat bread

1/2 of an avocado

Tomatoes of your choice (I used Cherubs)

2 slices cheese of your choice (I used muenster)

Cilantro leaves

Onion salt (or regular salt)

Lime juice

Butter

Enjoy!!
