I know, I know I have been gone for a long minute. Lately, I’ve been busy enjoying my family, taking care of my well-being, and focused on work, school, and other business ventures. I have to remind myself that I am one person, and life is not a race, and to treat it like a stroll through the park. Currently, I am enrolled in two courses this summer, Healthcare Data Analyics and Fundamentals of Anatomy and Physiology. I will keep going until I complete this program ( no more breaks). It is hard going back to school when it seems I’ve been in school all of my life. After I obtained my Master’s Degree in 2013, I knew I was done with school forever (in my “Squints” tone: The Sandlot), but the reality is you’ll never be done with higher learning and growing professionally.
Before I started reading, I wanted to enjoy a healthy and delicious smoothie.
I discovered a blender hack while using a mason jar instead of the blender glass. Makes for simple clean up!
Ingredients/kitchen items:
- 1 cup pineapple
- 1 banana
- 1 small apple
- 2 cups spinach ( or your choice of leafy green)
- 1 tbsp. chia seeds
- 1 tbsp. Greek yogurt ( 0% Fage, optional)
- 1/2 – 1 cup water
- Ice (optional)
- Blender blade and your choice of mason jar. When choosing a mason jar be sure to choose one large enough to fit your smoothie ingredients.
Instructions:
- Place spinach in the mason jar, push spinach towards the bottom of the glass if need be.
- Add water
- Place and twist the blender blade on top of the mason jar
- Place on blender and blend until you no longer see leaves
- Remove the blender blade and add the other ingredients, and repeat step 3.
