Look what I ‘surprised’ Eric with today! A Green Monster!!!
To say he was underwhelmed is an understatement…
Hahaha, the nervous look on his face kills me!
Here is what went into his mix:
Ingredients:
- 1 large handful organic spinach
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup Light ice cream
- 1/4 t Kyolic garlic extract
- 1 T flax (not shown)
- Ice
So what did Mr. ‘Smoothie hater’ think?
He really liked it (I think even more than his ego wanted to admit!!!). :D The only thing he didn’t like was the bubbles. The ice cream and milk combo made it very bubbly. He drank all of it! I was a proud Green Monster mama. ;)
I will slowly start making him healthier ones…but shhhhhh…. ;)
He said it was really refreshing! He had just come in from mowing the lawn and doing the trimming.
Last night we did some weeding for about 2 hours or so and we have a bit left to do today. Maintaining our yard is tons of work!!!
Yesterday I spent most of the day doing a new website design for Glo Bakery, and then around 11pm I ended up scratching the entire thing!!! :( I just wasn’t happy with it. I added a bunch of food pictures, but it looked so cluttered.
This afternoon, I used one of my new pumpkin spice bar pictures and re-did the header. I think it looks really nice now and I am finally happy with it!
This morning we went on a fun run + bike trip! The weather is just glorious today.
The run:
- Duration: 39 minutes
- Max heart rate: 176 bpm (up a big hill)
- Avg heart rate: 159 bpm
- Pace: 8:56 min/mile
- Distance: 4.47 miles
It was a great run! Lately, I have been picking up my pace and really challenging myself. My heart rate was in the high 160’s for most of the run!
Then I came home and did Exercises 7, 8, 9-10 for the Summer Glow Boot Camp!
I was one tired girl afterward. I saved the yoga poses for the end so I could stretch out my muscles. I have been doing really good for stretching after each run and I am positive this is a huge reason why I have not seen any more injuries. *knocks on wood* ;)
I was up early this morning baking an order of my Vegan Pumpkin Spice and All Things Nice Bars!
Of course, being groggy is not the best time to bake….I forgot a key ingredient! Oops. The result was not horrible, but was obviously not something I was going to sell.
So I saved the batch and am going to use it to sprinkle over my cereal. It still tasted SO yummy! I also had a bar before my run for some GLO energy! ;)
I also made a new Glo Bar- For the time being I am calling them Hey Lassy Ginger Glo Bars :) Eric thinks the name is cheesy, but I told him to stuff it! lol.
If you are a ginger and molasses lover you will LOVE these bars- they turned out so flavourful and spicy!
This now makes 10 variations of Glo Bars!
This afternoon, I made a new batch of my Pumpkin Spice bars! I tweaked the recipe a bit and they came out really nicely.
Once cooled, cut, and drizzled icing, and they look like this:
YUM. :)
