SD #6: From the Kitchen

I made my special sugar cookies on snow day #6.  After making a batch of those, I decided I wanted to try making chocolate rolled cookies.  Here's a photo of the cookie dough taken with my iPhone....

cookies.... to be continued.

The past few snow days consisted of too many poor food choices.  I wouldn't let myself fall into that trap again.  So, I've decided to post my "Daily Eats" again for a few days.

DAILY EATS

Breakfast: Green Monster Smoothie-  1/3 frozen banana, frozen blueberries, fresh spinach, golden flax, vanilla protein powder, unsweetened Silk soymilk, water, and ice.

Lunch:  Green Monster Smoothie- same as breakfast, but in a fancier cup

Dinner: egg, 2% string cheese, Laughing Cow cheese, and baby carrots

I went to bed hungry.  : (

1-2 packets Splenda, Truvia, etc. (depending on how sweet you like your shakes)

In a Magic Bullet or Blender, add the following:

Blend until ingredients have been mixed and all ice has been crushed well.
