My smoothie disappeared before I took a photo.

It was THAT good. Here's the recipe:

The Disappearing Banana Smoothie

One medium banana

1/4 cup unsweetened chocolate almond milk

1/4 cup nonfat cottage cheese

A few ice cubes

Blend and enjoy. Just try to make it last more than five minutes. I dare you. 

My inner fat girl is now on Pinterest.

I've always considered Pinterest to be lame and full of recipes and wedding crap. But since I'm no longer on Facebook, how else am I going to waste time online?

So I opened a Pinterest account. My first board was Recipes. I may or may not have a private Weddings board.

Since Dr. Steve and I have pledged to start cooking dinner at home more, I invited him to my recipe board so we could share some ideas.

"There's no actual FOOD on this board," he noted. "It's all just cupcakes."

Uhhhhhh yeah. Dinner?

LOOK at those mint chocolate ones.

I really shouldn't be allowed to complain that my jeans won't button.

Magic Mango Strawberry Smoothie

I've been on a huge smoothie kick recently. I suppose I could be on worse kicks. Previous ones have actually included snack cakes and French onion dip. 

They are so insanely easy. That's perfect for me, because I do not cook. The first meal I ever made was Miracle Whip and chocolate chip sandwiches. With bowls of Miracle Whip with chocolate chips for dessert. Don't judge. This was at least three years ago. Also some people LIKE Miracle Whip. 

Today's smoothie:

I'll admit, the end result isn't exactly pretty. Which I'm pretty certain is why I can't get Dr. Steve to drink them. But they are sooooooo delicious. And they're like THE easiest way to get two or three servings of fruits and vegetables in. 

Magic Mango Strawberry Smoothie

One medium banana

One small handful frozen mango

One small handful frozen strawberries

One small handful spinach 

Spoonful nonfat vanilla Greek yogurt

Splash light soy milk (so it won't get too thick)

Sometimes I'll also toss in some chia seeds for added Omega 3s or some protein powder. Clearly this is an EXACT science. Basically these things are impossible to screw up. Enjoy!
