apple and berry smoothie

Hello hello hello!  I have been so excited to share some new posts, starting with this fresh, new smoothie bowl recipe.  I have been super busy lately so it's so nice to get back to the thing I love sharing.  Something I think is so special is that I get to share me passion: sharing my writing about lifestyle, health, and style.  of course, with that I get to tell you guys my fav recipes I've made.  

With sharing my own recipes, you know that they were all made through trial and error.  (You should see my kitchen, after cooking!)  I really was going for a thicker consistency with this bowl, so I made it up previously in my blender and froze it overnight.  In the morning I pulled it out of the freezer and as you can imagine it was frozen solid, but I was in a hurry, so I didn't have time to thaw it. I tried all different things, and I eventually started cutting the frozen smoothie out and placing it in the blender.  I accidentally cut through my tupperware container, so I would recommend letting it thaw, just for a minute or two first.

Anyways, after I just all the frozen pieces back into the blender, I added a little bit of water and blender it up.  Perfection!!  Although I lost a nice container to it the smoothie was the perfect, cold, thick, but not too thick texture and it was delish!  Of course, even in a rush, I didn't go through all that work, just to not have or take a picture!  I snapped this beaut below and ate it up!



Apple and Berry Smoothie
By: Lemon Designed

one green apple
six to eight strawberries
cup of greek yogurt
half cup of blackberries
half cup of raspberries

If you don't freeze your fruit, I recommend adding ice.

Blend it up and enjoy, or freeze over night, blend in the morning and enjoy a frozen treat!

athletic wear i want

Woohoo we have all made it to the second week of February!  I don't know if it's just me, I just feel like that there is just this time where all I'm thinking of is what I'm going to wear when I'm working out-you know fulfilling my new year goal (wink, wink).  I love athletic wear that I can be comfy in and still could totally rock in the gym or while I'm running.  I can't wait to try out the dark grey pullover sometime soon-it looks so cozy.

The prices range differently all in an ok range (not too pricy, but not cheap).  They are all either Old Navy or Athleta and I love the quality of all their products.

p.s. i love this color scheme!!
shop the looks


I can speak for the black leggings and the tennis shoes because I already have them, but I love them!  The shoes (I wrote an earlier post about this here) fit very nicely and did I mention that they go with any and every workout outfit. The leggings are really nicely fitting too.
