Scrumptious Wednesday {my favorite green smoothie}

One of my new year's goals is to eat a more balanced diet. 

Basically I want to incorporate more fruits and vegetables in my day.

So in order to fulfill this, I have been making delicious green smoothies for lunch everyday. 

The specific recipe I use equals about 24 oz. and is pretty filling because I use it as a lunch substitute. 

It really is delicious so I hope you will give it a try!

Ingredients

3ish cups of spinach

1/4 cup plain greek yogurt

1/2 lemon 

1/2 apple

1 banana

1 tbsp ground flax seed

1/4 cup raspberries

1/4 backberries

1/2 cup water

All these measurements are estimates because I usually just thrown in whatever looks about right. 

You really can put in as much as you want of anything on the list but these amounts seem to work 

great if you still want a delicious taste. 

I really love it so much, now all I need to is get Dave to taste it.

Let me know what you think!

God. Husband. Exercise. Budget. Family. Friends. Food.

I love the fresh start of a New Year. 

It is a great opportunity to look at your life and obtain a new balance. 

This year I have organized my resolutions into six main themes

with a few mini goals in each. 

I thought I would share them with you lovely readers

in hopes you will hold me to them!

pray morning & night/ read something spiritual each day/ attend the temple twice this semester/ leave out non-uplifting entertainment

 daily small acts of service to Dave/ spend quality time together at night/ pray together nightly

 climb at least twice a week/ some other form of exercise three days a week

 stay true to monthly budget/ save at least 30% of paycheck/ no debt on credit carries over each month

 call or email each family member weekly/ look for opportunities to serve/ call Utah friends regularly 

 plan meals ahead of time/ eat dinner at home 6 nights a week/ one small sweet a day- bigger sweets only for date nights or holidays

What goals have you set for yourself in 2013?
