Purple Powerhouse

by Heather on September 14, 2009

I got up early this morning and set out to complete the last run of week 6.  I am not the biggest fan of Monday morning runs – it is hard to start the week with such an early alarm!

Before I left, I had the rest of my blueberry z-bar from the other day.

My legs were very tight and my run was slow.  Very slow.  I can’t blame it on the heat today – it was much colder then yesterday.  Surprisingly, my last mile was my fastest – that is very a-typical for me. 

When I got back, I tried a new smoothie combination. In the blender went:

  • 1/4 cup Organic Oats (blended first)
  • 1/2 a packet of Vanilla Carnation Instant Breakfast
  • 1/2 cup Oikos Vanilla Yogurt
  • Skim Milk
  • Handful of Spinach
  • One Frozen Banana
  • Frozen Blueberries and Raspberries

Check out this color – a purple powerhouse!

You really don’t taste the spinach.

I have to admit, I am more a fan of the chocolate based smoothies – who wouldn’t be though?!?

Off to work – hopefully I will cross some things off my three-page to do list!
