Friday Favorites: Smoothies

July 1, 2011 | Uncategorized

 

It’s Friday, Friday, gotta get down on Friday! So how many of you hate me now for getting that song stuck in your head? Your welcome!

Ok, so how many of you have been obsessed with smoothies now that it’s summertime? MEMEMEME! It’s weird. I VERY rarely eat smoothies in the winter, but as soon as it starts to get warm, they are all I eat. Almost daily. My blender is getting a serious workout!

The great thing about smoothies is that there are so many varieties right? And lets face it, it’s kinda hard to make a nasty tasting fruit smoothie, unless you are adding in a bunch of stuff or nasty flavored protein powder.

So what are my faves? I keep a stock of bags of frozen fruit in my freezer for starters. Outside of that, I use two main kinda of frozen mixes. Jamba juice and Yoplait. The yoplait is milk based, and the Jamba juice is well, duh, juice (apple) based. Depending on my mood, I sway back and forth on which base I want, so I like to keep both kinds in my freezer.

I also like to keep spinach on hand for green monsters. Honestly as much as I like the taste of these, I can’t handle the consistency too much, especially after a run and I just want a nice cold smoothie.

My favorite “store bought” smoothie is of course from Smoothie King. My two favorite flavors are slim n trim strawberry and immune builder. If you haven’t tried these, you are missing out!

I would love to experiment with some new smoothie flavors (I have a couple on my recipe page) one day when I have some time.

Yesterday I ran 3 easy miles at my parents house. I had some running skirts sales appointments over in their neck of the woods. I tried running in some racing flats to see if it hurt my knee, and WOW I am not used to running in flats! My calves and feet were SCREAMING and I am sure I will pay tomorrow!

QOTD: What is your favorite smoothie combo? homemade or store bought?

    Yum! My favorite smoothie is usually peanut butter, banana, and yogurt/milk. But pb and bananas gross me out now that I’m pregnant so I stick with berries and yogurt/ milk. I am not a fan of juice-based smoothies. Yuck!

    I have Jamba every morning and a huge smoothie for dinner at night–I’m definitely obsessed (or in a rut?!)!

    I’m very particular about my smoothies. The more fruit the better, no banana because it ends up overwhelming the taste of everything else, must be 100% smooth no chunks and I’m not really down with chocolatey, peanut buttery smoothies. Those are for shakes only.

    Those smoothies look yummy. I haven’t tried Jamba juice, but I have tried yoplait smoothies! I love them! About your comment on my blog, Karen and I are not doing the calorie counting together. She is doing the Jillian diet, I am just watching my caloric intake with Brian!

    I love smoothies!! I’m usually a Jamba girl if I’m going store-bought or I make my own with frozen fruit, milk and protein powder. I haven’t tried the Jamba or Yoplait frozen mixes. I’ll have to check in to those!

BACKSTORY TIME! 🚘 I drove the same Toyota 4Ru BACKSTORY TIME! 🚘 

I drove the same Toyota 4Runner for 14 1/2 years. Last October, we got a good deal on a Highlander platinum with 10,000 miles on it from @foxtoyota. 

The only problem is, I wanted the Grand Highlander platinum, because it has way more cargo room, legroom, and some other features that the regular Highlander doesn’t have. I thought that’s what we were getting, but it wasn’t available and we ended up with the regular Highlander, which don’t get me wrong, I was very grateful for after driving the same car for so long.

However, as the months went on, the differences were very noticeable, especially with how much we travel and the lack of space. Without me knowing, Bobby had been doing research and working with the wonderful folks at Fox, and was able to find us a brand new Grand Highlander platinum. 

He had hoped it would arrive for my birthday, but it was a couple weeks late, which was totally worth it. He’s usually really bad at surprising me (my 40th birthday party a couple weeks ago was supposed to be a surprise, but I found out.) so I was truly in shock and speechless when I came home and this new car, which we named Ruby, was in the garage!

@bobbymontg may not be the most romantic guy, but he shows his love in ways that he knows I appreciate. Best birthday gift ever! 🩷

While grabbing a few things at Walgreens, I picked up a Kohl’s gift card and turned it into the cutest teacher gift — a mason jar wrapped in ribbon, full of pencils with a tag that says “This year is going to be on point.” 🎯 

It’s simple, thoughtful, and super practical — because who doesn’t love a gift they can actually use? 

Walgreens makes it so easy to grab @incommpayments gift cards for everyone on your back-to-school list — from teachers to even yourself (because let’s be real, moms need a win too 😉).
