Apple Cinnamon Crisp Smoothie

Hey everyone! How is your Monday going? Okay so I wanted to do something a little different here lately. When I first started my blog I wanted to do a "Fat Girl Friday" post with super yummy foods! Well as time went by I was more into make up and completely forgot about my food part! Since I am on this new health kick (for how ever long I decide to try it this time lol) I wanted to share a recipe that was healthy and really yummy!

Apple Cinnamon Crisp Smoothie!

Who doesn't love anything with apple and cinnamon. With fall around the corner and I figured since everyone will soon be on the pumpkin craze (I myself will be as well) that I needed to make something for the ani-pumpkin people that was really yummy! I wanted to make it healthy though so here we go!

You will need the following:

1 Green Apple

1 1/2 cups of Silk soy milk (vanilla)

1/4 cup of Quacker Oats

3 dashes of Cinnamon 

Ice (Cartoon Character cup sized)

Tools:

Blender

Cup to put smoothie in

Okay so this is SOO easy to make and really yummy. This is for more of a thicker type of smoothie. I like mine thick, if you perfer a thinner one then add some more soy milk to it. 

Peel and cut up the apple into small pieces, place into blender and dash on the cinnamon.

Add a character cup full of ice into it (these cups are like .88 at Walmart. My daughter has a horrible habit of chewing on them though.)

Add your Oats!

Then pour on the milk and blend!

Pour into a glass and rink it down!

See how easy this was?!?! Super easy and really yummy! I am on a smoothie kick though so be prepared to see lots more of these bad boys coming onto this blog!

Yoga Anyone?

Okay so this post is going to be a little more personal then my normal post. Today I am going to discuss my weight and how I am going to change quite a few things! So This is a very hard topic for me to discuss because I know it is all my fault that I have gotten this out of hand. I can't blame Mcdonalds for making their fries yummy or blame my job for being to tired to work out. This is all my fault but today I have decided to truly try to start to get fit. I don;t want to say lose weight because that's not exactly what I am after but I am after a more healthy version of myself. I want to be able to go to the park with my daughter and not get to tired to fast and be able to go for a walk without losing my breath so easy.

So today was a start of trying to get fit. See it is going to be very hard to do considering my work schedule but I will be doing this not only for myself but for my family as well. So today I started with something a little different. I started with your normal eating healthy breakfast and drinking water but today I decided to try out YOGA! Okay so yoga has been around forever. It is a way to practice your a connection of your mind, body and spirit. It is a very important connection to have considering to being a fit journey you need to be connected with everything in your body. 

Okay so today I tried out a Yoga on Youtube. They don;t offer any in person classes around me and since I needed to do this at my own pace I decided that A Youtube instructor would be best for me, so I tried an instructor on Youtube called Yoga with Adriene.  She was such an amazing soul to try to learn this practice from. Her beginners video is about twenty minutes long so make sure you have time to do this before starting it. She goes over most of the basics and shows you some simple but very effective poses, My body was kind of sore after my first go with it and I heard things crack but I figure it is because I haven't done anything like this is SO long that my body needed to stretch, So the poses like I said are simple and very easy to do. She suggest to do this video for a week to get into the idea of yoga and I agree! You should do this video for a week so that You body can adjust to doing something like this and get into a routine of it. 

Personally I will be doing yoga again! Not only did it stretch my body but my mind was relaxed and I was able to balance my body and mind very well to create a great connection. A relaxed mind can help you through the day to help you be a better person and not to stress as much. This is a great start to get fit and to become healthy. If your able to go out to yoga classes I suggest that you do and try this out! I personally loved it. 

Well that's all I have to say in this post, It isn't my normal review post but this one is for me to start a better life and that excites me too!
