Hi everyone!!!  I hope you are all having a great start to the week!  Do you ever feel like all you want to do after you workout is eat something really healthy or drink something really fresh?!  Well, I know I do.  (: After I do my Kayla Itsines BBWG workouts, (which I have talked about in a previous post) I like to have a really fresh, fruity and healthy smoothie!  There are countless recipes out there but heres mine! You will need: ~Chia seeds ~Agave nectar ~Almond milk ~Grapefruit juice ~Frozen strawberries ~Frozen raspberries ~Frozen pineapple ~1 whole banana ~1/2 of a lemon (the juice) And that's it!  Honestly, you can add whatever you want or switch things out.  Personalize it to what you like!  Sometimes I just look at what fruits I have and anything else that I could add and voila!  Blend it all together and you have a smoothie LOL.  I do like to add spinach and yogurt at times, but for this recipe, ...

Annnnndddd we meet again (:  How is everyone?!  I hope that the new year is treating you well so far and that we are all living up to those resolutions!  I know I am!  Well, trying at least.  I have been eating fairly well and have been saying NO to any temptations that I have towards sweets and junk and I have also been keeping up with my workout plan too!  If you are reading this and are not sure what workout plan I am talking about, go read my previous post!  This plan is only 6 days a week...which I KNOW sounds like a lot, but on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays you follow a 28 minute workout.  That's it.  And then on Tuesday and Thursday you can choose to go for a 45 minute walk or bike ride and then Saturday is a relaxing stretch day and Sunday is a rest day!  It really has not been that difficult to fit into my schedule and I already feel really good about it.  (: Now let's get into this recipe! First things first you...
