Workout and a Smoothie

So I have a great post in the making about goal setting.  But instead of staying up late tonight to finish it I am going to wait until Mondy to post it and go to bed. It has been a long day and I think I picked up the stomach bug my kids just got over. Lucky me!:)  Or maybe I am just sleep deprived from naughty children who don't like to sleep. Whatever the reason I am admitting defeat and going to bed.

So to hold you over I have a great Cardio Ab YouTube video you can do this weekend and a yummy smoothie recipe for you to try.  I made it just the other day and it was delicious.

Gold Smoothie

(about 300 calories)

1/2-1 cup carrots (microwave just enough to soften them)

1 clementine orange (the little cutie kind is what I used)

1/2 cup canned pineapple (It is yummy if you freeze it before hand but you don't have to)

1/2 almond milk

1/2 cup water

2 scoops protein powder(the kind I use has 90 calories in 2 scoops)*

1 tsp honey

Throw it all in the blender and enjoy!

*If you don't have protein powder you could throw in some greek yogurt or cottage cheese or a banana.  You may need some extra honey if you use the greek yogurt or cottage cheese. Or you could sweeten with Stevia. 

Or turn this into a green smoothie by throwing in a handful of spinach.

Hope you have a happy and healthy weekend!...It's my birthday so I just may have a little dessert to celebrate:)
