Happy Saint Patrick\u2019s Day! I\u2019m fearlessly wearing green today\u2026despite the fact that the only shirt I could find was an old, extra-large, tee-shirt. It\u2019s obviously too big and extremely tacky. So yes, I look the opposite of <!--more-->a fashion statement, but hey! It\u2019s green and I won\u2019t get pinched\u2026there are perks to appearing sloppy.<\/p>\n<p>This morning started with an epic, protein packed breakfast of an egg + egg white scramble with chicken chunks and goat cheese. Fueled up with that, I then did a 30 minute Nike workout with my i-pod. Seriously, this workout had me sweating\u2026and by the end of it, I was shaking. I love the workout apps I have on my i-touch. Maybe in the near future I\u2019ll do a post on all of my favourites!<\/p>\n<p>After my workout, I whipped up a green smoothie for me and my sister for lunch. It was so amazing I have to share it with you all. My sister said that it was the best green smoothie she\u2019s had (and we make a lot of them!). I paired the shake with a few organic crackers with antipasto, a couple slices of fresh mango and a couple dates for dessert.<\/p>\n<p>I loved the fact that this drink dished out half the amount of vitamin A we need in a day, a third of the vitamin C, and packed a good punch of calcium and iron in as well! This smoothie serves 2.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"recipeTitle\">Green Goodness Smoothie<\/h2>\n<ol class=\"recipe\">\n<li>\u00bd cup raw almond milk<\/li>\n<li>\u00bd cup plain yogurt<\/li>\n<li>\u00bc cup cooked oatmeal<\/li>\n<li>2 cups spinach<\/li>\n<li>1 \u00bd bananas, frozen<\/li>\n<li>1 tbsp. sesame seeds<\/li>\n<li>1 tsp. vanilla extract<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Blend in a high-powered blender.
