Happy Friday to all. :w00t:
Well, last night is what I would like to call a yoga sorta fail.
- I got the mat out
- Turned off the lights
- Lit a candle
- Turned the video on
I was doing good for the first 5 minutes of the video and then the next thing I know it is 2 hours later and I wake up on the yoga mat with Sketchie sleeping on my tummy. :whistle:
I guess my body had other plans for me. It was fabulous.
I also got to see The Office and The Marriage Ref. Eric decided that he wants to bring me on The Marriage Ref to discuss my Crazy Dish Lady status.
I started the morning off with a fresh juice to use up some of the discount veggies.
It contained: 1 lime, 1/2 English cuke, 1/4 lemon, 1 beet, 1/2 tomato, 2 carrots:
Beet + Lime = bliss
This was so energizing!
After doing a bit of paperwork, I set out to the kitchen to throw together Banana Soft Serve VOO.
Blueberry Vanilla Banana Soft Serve VOO
Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup regular oats
- 1/4 scoop Amazing Grass Amazing Meal chocolate powder
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup almond milk
- Layer with: Banana soft serve
- Layer with: Blueberry Jam
Directions: Whisk VOO ingredients together with a whisk. Place in fridge overnight. In the morning make the banana soft serve by processing a frozen banana in the food processor for a few minutes, scraping sides as necessary. Now layer the BSS with the VOO and add some blueberry jam.
I ate it in a blueberry jam jar a la Heather. The blueberry jam was really good in this mix! I actually meant to add in a layer of jam in the middle, but I forgot.
It is a major paper work day for me this morning. I am hoping to get out for a swim or run at lunch (Please SUN peak out!) and then we have family arriving this afternoon. Tonight, we are having a big birthday get together to celebrate my father-in-law’s and my birthday. Should be good times.
Have a great Friday!
Beet juice, eh? I’m not sure how I feel about that! Although I DO like the thought of napping instead of doing yoga, ha ha.
Have a great Friday!
I used to HATE beets until I started juicing them. Its really the only way I have grown to like them.
note to self: MUST make overnight oats with banana soft serve IMMEDIATELY! ;)
Thanks Ang!What do you use to make the Green monster?Could not make a search on your blog for breville?
For the green monster I have a Kitchenaid blender but I do not suggest getting one..mine has broken twice.
Haha that looks like a baby bottle!
Glad to see I’m not the only one who falls asleep on the yoga mat. It happened when I did the Crunch Fitness Candle Light Yoga. :)
that sounds heavenly! Right up my alley…hahaha
Lava flow of VOO…LOVE it!!! That looks insane! That is hilarious about yoga…glad you got in some rest!!! :)
Haha! Yoga ALWAYS makes me want to go to sleep. I guess your body just needed some more rest. I have BSS w/ VOO waiting for me as I type. Yum! Have a great day!
how fabulous that its spewing over in deliciousness. YUM! <3 lots of love put into there, thats for sure!
hehe, must have needed that relaxing yoga session! I’m sure that 2 hour nap was even better ;)
I always love how your breakfast is just spilling over the sides… it reminds me of something I would see in an old fashioned diner :)
Oh man, I always threaten to bring Dan on the marriage ref (even though we aren’t married). He doesn’t understand WHY I don’t like him leaving used cotton swabs and paper towels everywhere, for days at a time.
I lover vegetable juice! My favorite combo right now is carrots, beets, kale, and lemon! I’ve never tried lime in it– I’ll have make that tomorrow. Yoga is so peaceful- love your set up with the candles. What I love about yoga is that it’s all about your body and what it needs in THAT moment. Your body obvious needed a little rest. Enjoy your weekend!

That’s awesome that you fell asleep on the mat! You must have been quite relaxed :)
I love the marriage ref, too, too funny! The veggie/fruit juice looks great!
That looks delicious! Almost like a dessert…. :
Awww! That’s adorable! =D Sketchie must have made a nice tummy warmer, haha!
I hope the sun comes out today for you! It’s been really nice here the last few days, so I am sending you as many mental sun waves as I can! ~^
your smoothie looks amazing! i am coming here for smoothie inspiration always.
Your accidental-nap story kiiiiiiiiiiiiiilled me, mostly because I have TOTALLY done that ;)
Hey Angela,
Just wondering where you get your Amazing Grass powder – I looked on the website and it charges $16 for shipping to Canada! Any stores that carry it? Thx!
You can purchase it at Whole Foods and other health food stores too…I would check on their website?
I’ve been ordering my Amazing Grass from Amazon, seems a bit cheaper than Whole foods.
OMGosh Ange I just made your overnight oats and layered with banana AND blueberry preserves!!!! I actuallly posted about it and used your recipe to try to inspire people to enter a giveaway. :) I’m giving away 2 jars of organic preserves and immediately thought of you and your love for gourmet flavors! Strawberry basil preserves or blueberry merlot jam strike your fancy?
