let's cool down

summer has arrived in utah, and i couldn't be happier! after spending a year in seattle, and feeling like i didn't have a summer at all, i was ready for some sunshine. 

i realize i have been very slack with my blog. i was trying to think about why that is, and i don't think it is lack of inspiration, but just plan lack of time. a lot has been going on in the life of me... a new job, amping up my stationery biz, some hard core yoga classes, and planning summer trips. i have so many diy projects and recipes i want to try. once i get settled in my new job, i hope to not be so slack. 

if you are in the slc area, head over to zen living yoga in the sugarhouse area, for a good sweaty yoga session. seriously... i think i lost about 5 lbs worth of sweat yesterday {never knew i could sweat so much in yoga}. 

the best thing after a hardcore workout in the summer heat... a smoothie of course! {not sure how many more smoothies my blender can handle}.

watermelon smoothie:


what you need:

1 small banana {fresh or frozen}
1/2 small watermelon, chopped
2 tbsp plain non-fat greek yogurt {omit or use soy to make it vegan}
1/2 cup almond milk

blend together and enjoy! it should make about 2 large smoothies. feel free to add berries or more banana for a thicker smoothie.


cantaloupe, banana and avocado smoothie:


what you need:

1/2 banana
1/2 small cantaloupe
slice of avocado
2 tbsp plain non-fat greek yogurt {omit or use soy to make it vegan}
1/2 cup almond milk

blend together and enjoy! this is so tasty - i wasn't sure how the flavors would mix, but it turned out great. it makes one very big smoothie.

have you been creating any unique smoothies lately? i love hearing about new flavors to mix together. 

hope you have a good monday!

love, kbn
