Green smoothie!

Warning!!!! This smoothie is so yummy your kids will even like it!!!!

I am not sure if there is a wrong way to make a green smoothie or not lol but I made one today I reall love! And all I used was fruits and vegis! No yogurt and no ice, nothing except fruits and vegis! 

I started this yesterday when I actually made some juice with my juicer, I was lucky enough to win my juicer from the Dr. Oz show or I probably wouldn't have it. 

I would highly recommend this juicer to anyone and you can find it at your local bed bath and beyond! But anyways I wanted to make some juice for a few days so here is the list of what I put in.

2 cups of organic spinach

2 cups of organic kale

2 organic apples 

2 organic oranges

2 star fruit

1/2 cup of fresh cranberries

This was just a bunch of stuff in my fridge lol and I didn't want to waste it. 

This morning I just put about 1 cup is my juice mix into my magic bullet, I added two small frozen bananas, and about 1 cup of frozen mango and just blended it very well.

I keep a lot of frozen fruit on hand and it works our great for the smoothies it makes them so thick and creamy I absolutely love it!!

I hope you enjoy my recipe if you try it! Feel free to leave comments with your own green smoothie recipe and I may try it and post it on my blog!!!

WW Orange Chicken part 2

So while my rice was cooking from my previous post, my chicken was also baking right next to it!

I was able to use my new toaster oven! Which was awesome, I hate turning on the oven for only 30 min. 

I have been slacking on my weight loss the past two weeks so I did meal planning yesterday for the week in order to get back on track. I modified a recipe from the WW 50th edition cook book and it was very yummy and only 5 PP.

Prep time: 10 min

Cook time: 30

Servings: 4 

Points plus: 5 per serving

1lb pack of boneless skinless chicken breast cut into 1 inch pieces

1-2 tablespoon olive oil

2 small clementines/1 med orange

2 teaspoons paprika

2 teaspoons dried rosemary 

1 teaspoon garlic salt

2 teaspoons pepper

In a small bowl add your olive oil, zest both clemintines just the orange don't zest to far down on the peel it turns bitter, add the rest of your dry ingredients and coat the chicken. Peel the clemintines/ oranges.

Put chicken and clemintines on a foil line broiler pan and bake at 350 for 30-35 min.

This was super quick and super yummy! I also used a steam bag of veggies which was a broccoli, carrot, snow pea, and water chesnut combo.

My whole meal was only 8 points! 

Orange chicken-5points

1/2 cup rice-3points

Veggies-0points 

Quick and healthy breakfast

I'm trying to be a clean eater this year which isn't easy for me because I love bacon ad sweets and pasta! But I am trying! I have to say I rather enjoyed my breakfast this morning! It was healthy and tasty! 

I started off with a fruit drink because I was about to lose some strawberries. 

1 cup of strawberries 

2/3 cup papaya

2/3 cup of grapes

1/2 banana

1 tsp of ginger

The ginger is supposed to help you body absorb all the anti oxidants from the fruits and you can't even taste it!!!

I had a fresh papaya and some hand picked local strawberries so the flavor was so good! 

I was even lucky enough to get a good batch of bananas that had a lot of flavor. My grapes on the other hand were not that great but I didn't want to waste them, I am thinking next time I would leave out the grapes or wen austitute with blueberries or another fruit.

I even had a partner in crime this morning who was enjoying getting little bits of fresh fruit! She started of really well but by the end it was no longer eating more like smudging everywhere! 

I love my magic bullet, it only took about 1 min to whip it all together and audrey and I shared it as part of our breakfast! 

While the drink was yummy I need something a little more filling so I mad myself a little something extra.

1 bagel thin toasted

1 tsp peanut butter

1/2 banana

1 tsp honey

1 tsp chia seeds

Extra yummy and extra easy to put together! Best part was my whole breakfast was only 6 points plus values!

So if you are looking for something quick and good for you here it is! The fact it tasted good was just an added bonus!
