This post is coming to you from the past 😉 It’s midday Sunday here and even though I don’t usually write posts on weekends I was in the mood to write one today. That and the fact that as of tomorrow our place is going to have no furniture in it! Yep… tomorrow they’re coming to take all our furniture to ship it over to the UK, it’s officially official!!!

I have no idea how we’re going to get by without any furniture for the next 10 days but somehow we’re going to have to make it work. I’ll be writing blog posts sitting on the floor of our bedroom 😐 Oh and no TV either which means we’ll be watching stuff on the laptop. Hmmmm this should be interesting!

On another note I have made a return back to the gym. As you know after I had my accident it was hard for me to move around and once I started to feel better I wanted to re start my exercise on a lighter note so I started walking outside again. Anyway in the last couple of days I’ve started back at the gym again since I finally feel like I can move around like normal again.

Plus it helps when you have brand new shoes to wear! I LOVE LOVE LOVEEEE Merrell shoes! Actually Joe and I both love them they are extremely comfortable and we have been doing the whole barefoot shoes thing for a while now so are used to wearing them. I can’t do regular trainers/runners anymore. If you’re considering getting barefoot shoes then I really recommend Merrells.

Just wanted to share this quick smoothie recipe with you. It was something I just threw together and well it turned out YUM so here it is….

Carrot Smoothie

Ingredients:
  • 1.5 cups unsweetened almond milk.
  • 1 medium carrot, peeled and diced.
  • 1/2 frozen banana.
  • 1 tbsp almond butter.
  • 1 tsp cinnamon.
  • Pinch of nutmeg.
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract.
  • 1/4 tsp coconut butter or you could use coconut oil.
  • Raw honey/maple syrup for sweetening.
  • Toasted coconut flakes (for garnish).
Method:

Place all ingredients except for the toasted coconut flakes into a high-powered blender like a Vitamix and blend! If you’re using a regular blender then grate the carrot before adding it in. Sprinkle toasted coconut flakes on top if you like.

Enjoy!

I just made this smoothie – Actually I’m drinking it while typing this post.

It’s been a while since I made a Green Smoothie, notice how I left the green part out of the title (aka the spinach). I didn’t want to scare you away with the word spinach, although you can’t taste it at all, it just gives the smoothie its pretty green colour. 🙂
