Now its feeling like fall, Chloe started 2nd grade last week, the hubbs is finishing his last year at Stony Brook, and I am finishing my last year at LIU! Liam is pre-schooling at home with momma for this semester and we're just having fun :)
The routine of each day is now back which also means the routine of my meal planning and cooking and trying new recipes is back. I think that means the routine blogging will be back too! No promises but it's something I enjoy so I'm going to work on. Lol
This morning I tried something new. I thought that this would be a great way to get things rolling and blog about something new.
I've been juicing. Not every day and not for every meal but for breakfast I like to do it. I was using the blender and then realized that months ago I pinned something on Pinterest that said you could fit mason jars on most basic blenders. Gave it a shot and it worked!! I was so pleased!!
Here I started with the empty mason jar. I made sure the the blades could fit in the jar and then added a few ingredients and gave it a whirl. It worked so I added the rest and then I had the perfect concoction already in the glass. A lot less cleanup doing it this way and it gives you the perfect serving size.
What I used:
Basic blender
Pint size Mason jar
Half a banana
1 tbsp flax seed
handful of kale
handful of romaine lettuce
1/4 cup of blueberries
1/4 juice from orange or orange juice
spoonful of greek yougurt (optional)
This is just one way that I make it, sometimes it is super green and it has to do with the ingredients. I don't always add yogurt, and when I first started making smoothies and juice, if I wanted it sweeter I would add a spoonful of good, local honey. I don't do that much anymore but if you need it a little sweeter, that's what I recommend.
As I make them other ways I will share the recipes.

Well that's all for now! Have a happy Monday!
