Wednesday is Operation: Smoothie

It's here ladies! 

The middle of the week! It's all downhill from here!.... 

in a good way though!

I hope you are all having a great week so far! I have a bad knee & I have been really dealing with some pain in it lately which isn't any fun & I also have a headache to top it off! Ugh! So, I think a soaking in a hot Epsom salt bath while reading a good book then going to bed early sounds just perfect for tonight! And that is exactly what I am going to do as soon as I am done with this blog!
As I told you Monday, I am trying to get this blog more structured. Mondays are about motivation with a challenge & on Wednesdays, I am going to do smoothies! I love a good smoothie! You can do so many things with them & are a sure fire, easy "whey" to add some protein to your day! Drink one as a meal replacement or lighten up on the ingredients to drink with a meal or as an after dinner nosh! This smoothie recipe is great, clean smoothie recipe for in the morning before a workout or as any meal replacement! It will fill your belly up & keep it full because of the low glycemic index carbs in the sweet potato!

Operation: Smoothie

(or whatever blender you use)
