I’ve been taking these 8 oz snack sized smoothies with me to class all week and they’re perfect power ups, especially during longer blocks.They’re all delicious but I have to say the Chocolate Mocha Banana is just amazing, seriously try it!

All these work with the same basic ingredients: silk light original soy milk, oikos plain fat free greek yogurt, orange juice and frozen bananas. The frozen bananas take the place of ice to chill your smoothie but also give it a fantastic creamy texture! Try peeling and chopping the banana before storing it in a ziplock bag in the freezer overnight. I keep a few frozen bananas in my freezer ready to go!

ps- the jar I used in these pics was a recycled glass jam jar, I save them to use as travel mugs! :)

Recipe: Spicy Potato n’ Black Bean Burritos (minus the burrito part…)

You know you’re about to have something super delicious when you’re cutting board looks like that…

Since I didn’t have any tortillas, we just ate this with cilantro lime quinoa instead in burrito bowl form and it was yummy :) That was my first quinoa experience and I’d say it was a good one!

We topped ours with some avocado, pico de gallo, cilantro, and lime :)

It’s lunch time! This sandwich is something that I randomly just through together. I doubt I’m the first one to come up with this combination but I don’t care, I’m officially branding this the ATC, after my favorite gym in the city, ATC fitness. ATC = Avocado, Tomato, Cheese. Again, this is freakishly adaptable as you can substitute whatever you’d like. Add more veggies, take out the tomato, add zucchini, add some mustard, change the cheese, I wanted to do this with Gouda, we didn’t have any. Use a lower calorie, different kind of bread. Adapt your heart out.

2 slices whole wheat bread
1/2 ripe avacado
3 slices ripe tomato
1oz shaved parmesan cheese

On one slice of your bread lay your avocado, feel free to smash up your avocado, use guacamole, etc etc, your 3 slices of tomato, and your 1oz of shaved parmesan in whatever order you’d like. Top it with the other piece of bread.

Using a pan, a panini maker, or a pan plus something to smash the sandwich with, heat the sandwich until the bread browns and the cheese melts.

Eat your heart out.

1 whole sandwich has:
343 calories ; 31 carbs ; 20g fat ; 19g protein
