Hello!
Lately I have been trying to enjoy the summer as much as possible. I cannot believe that it is coming to an end and I will be going off to college in just a week!
Since I'm obviously obsessed with food, what better way to savor the summer than make a fruit smoothie? Every. Morning.
I usually have it along side a poached egg on toast or english muffin!
Ok so, that looks totally gross. I should start taking better pictures from my camera instead of iPhone. That's my new goal!
Blender, stove, and toaster. I will miss you when I am in my dorm eating cereal and microwaving oatmeal. (Don't get me wrong- I love oatmeal. But it just tastes better on the stove!)
Hey- cereals not that bad either! Shredded wheat with blueberries. I have a feeling I won't have blueberries though. Poor college girl on board.
Here's my smoothie recipe that you can make for yourself. It's a perfect mix of caffein, protein, vitamins, and tastes delicious. Enjoy the last few weeks of summer!
Makes one big glass or two small glasses
Ingredients:
1 cup green tea
1 peach
small handful of blueberries
small handful of strawberries
2 heaping tablespoons of plain greek yogurt
small handful of ice
Directions:
Brew some green tea the night before and put it in the fridge so it's cold in the morning. You may use bottled kind if you would rather. Add chopped fruit and berries (I used frozen berries I picked in spring- I have a lot!). Put the yogurt in for extra creaminess and protein. Add ice cubes. Blend and enjoy!

Birthday Cake
Hello! This week I had my appointment with the nutritionalist. I was dreading going and I left feeling pretty upset. She gave me a list of foods and told me how many servings to eat a day. She put an emphasis on carbs and also said that I should treat myself to junk food a few times a week.
The reason I am so confused and frustrated is because I eat more than most people. My sister and mom at least. (My sister only eats one meal a day.) An example is that today is my sisters birthday and we had a big chocolate cake. I devoured my slice faster than my other family members and ate the entire thing (I could have had another slice!) But my sister and mom didn't even finish theirs because they said it was "too chocolaty". Whaaat?
Things like this happen every day and they make me feel like complete shit. I get SO angry with them and myself and I shouldn't! There is really no reason for me to be that upset about it. I constantly am comparing myself to everyone and their eating habits. I am obsessed with food and admitting on this blog that I need help.
