Sunrise Smoothie

24 Jan

This weather is getting to me.

Last night, I had planned on going to the gym to get in a short training run, but the thought of leaving my house – and venturing out in the frigid temps – was the last thing I wanted to do. All I want to do is put on as many layers as possible and hide under the covers until April.

Okay, I’m being a bit dramatic here. (And sadly, that’s not an option.)

The other day, I blended up a fruit smoothie that took me right back to the warmer months and I swear I actually felt happier while drinking it! Three cheers for summertime flavors!

Ingredients:

  • 4-5 ice cubes
  • 1/2 c. oats
  • 6 oz. peach Greek yogurt (or you could sub in another flavor, such as pineapple)
  • 1 banana
  • 1/2 c. milk (enough to get everything moving)
  • ~10 drops of orange NuStevia

Directions:

  • Combine all ingredients and blend!

What’s that? You don’t have any NuNaturals NuStevia on hand? Stay tuned friends – you’ll have a chance to win some! ;-)

Is the weather getting to anyone else? Or are you cool with the cold? I have been in the funk to trump all funks this week and I’m blaming Mother Nature.

    Don’t get me started about the weather! It’s been in the single digits all week! Is it spring yet?

    I have such a hard time drinking smoothies in the winter – they are just too cold. . . but I suppose, I just need to crank up the fireplace and do it because they are so so good! I am fine with the cold weather – don’t get me wrong, I am still going to complain! But I would much rather be curled up on the couch than out and about!

    This looks so yummy and I could sip it while imagining I was on a hot, sandy beach somewhere… :)
