Happy New Year!!!! Yes, I know... I've been a bit MIA. But, with getting married, working on our house, and getting a puppy - I haven't had much time to blog. So - NO EXCUSES! One of my resolutions this year is to post one recipe a month. I know, that's only 12 posts... but this way, I'm sure to stay consistant.
In the spirit of New Years - let's start the year off with a BANG! For anyone starting a health kick, try my BIG RED SMOOTHIE! Recently, I realized that I'm not eating enough protein. Depending on your weight, this smoothie can give you half your recommended amount of protein - not to mention VEGGIES and fiber. I hope you enjoy starting your day with this smoothie! Yum!
Yields 1 large serving. (I drank 1/2 before realizing that maybe I should share)
