Green smoothie breakfast

Well, I hate ice more than could ever be normal, so this is ice-free.

1 medium banana
1 gala apple
1-2C spinach
Juice of one lemon
Cinnamon to taste

Blend it all up and drink!

Have a great Thursday, everyone!

Hiking the Ledges

Just wanted to share a few photos from my hike at Nelson-Kennedy Ledges State Park here in Ohio. It's such a beautiful (and challenging) hike! If you're in the area, I highly recommend it.

Trail mix!

Put together some trail mix for today's hike.

1/3C almonds (mine were slivered, but any will work)
1/3C walnuts (well, really any nuts will work. These two just happened to be on hand.)
1/3C vegan semi-sweet chocolate chips (I used Ghiradelli.)
1/3C soynuts (no idea, my mom gave these to me!)
1/3C dried cranberries
1T flax seeds
1T PB2 powder
1.5t nutritional yeast flakes

It all fit nicely into a single sandwich bag, which fits perfectly in my fannypack/lumbar bag. I plan to share this with my mom, who is joining me for today's hike. This is a good balance of protein and energy, so we should be able to hike till the sun goes down. (Also helps that we won't be starting until late afternoon!)

Snack/Lunch!

Work has been out of control lately and hasn't left much time for blogging. But I HAD to snap a picture and share the small plate of deliciousness I had for my workday snack/lunch!

We're out of plates and I just brought the whole container with me today since I didn't have a ton of time this morning, so I dished out my portion on the lid.

Folks, may I present from Color Me Vegan, carrot fries (!) with blueberry ketchup (!!) SO. GOOD.

~150 Calories for this portion
(~50 for the carrot fries, ~100 for the ketchup)
