Good Afternoon! I hope you guys are having a wonderful week! It’s been sunny and hot here yet I have yet to get any sun this week but I’m going to squeeze in some sunshine this weekend! More to come on that later, but for now I have a new recipe and workout for you.
Flavor
It’s Thirsty Thursday and as always I have a delicious smoothie recipe for you. This one can be adjusted to your flavor liking and will be good either way you try it.
Blueberry Cobbler Smoothie
Serves 2
(1) Banana (frozen preferably)
(1/2) Cup of Blueberries
(1) Cup of Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk (or milk of choice)
(1/2) Cup of Rolled Oats
(1) Scoop of Vanilla Protein Powder
(1) Cup of Ice
(1) Cup of Baby Spinach Leaves (optional)
I blended all ingredients together first without the spinach leaves and this is the result:
Flavorful and delicious!
I then added the spinach because it is packed with nutrients and an easy way to get my greens in! The sweetness of the banana masks any “earthy” flavor you may fear.
Who doesn’t love a good blueberry cobbler? This smoothie is sweet and tastes so good!
Fitness
Last night I was browsing the Pinterest boards for some WOD Crossfit workouts I could do at the gym but I couldn’t find one I especially wanted to do last night. I went to the gym with some ‘Pin”spiration with Kettle-bell Swings & Burpees and came up with this Arm workout that left me dripping with sweat!
Squat into upright row- source- Dips- source
- Kettlebell Swings- source
- Burpees into Push-up- source
- Pull-ups- source
Do you like adding greens to your smoothies? What is your favorite “extra nutrient” you add to a smoothie?
What a great arm routine. I will have to try this one. I am trying to work on my upper body strength.
I hope you try it! It’s a good one
Love blueberry smoothies!! I used to always add spinach to my smoothies, but recently I just haven’t been feeling it. Maybe my craving for the extra nutrients will come back soon??
Have a great weekend girl!
Hope you had a great weekend jessie! Sometimes I don’t feel the spinach either
Just depends!
I did, thank you. Hope you did as well girl
YUM to the smoothie and YES to the upper body workout! Might have to give this one a go tomorrow morning.
I hope you do! It was a good one
You know, the thing that impacted me most about this post was the fact that you can do a pull-up! The smoothie sounds so good! I love putting oats in smoothies…it started out of necessity for me because that’s the only way my daughter will eat them!
Well I’m still doing assisted pull-ups
I can only do two pullups alone so I use machine at the gym until I can do them without assist- still trying to work on my upper body strength!
