I decided I need to make more food (because I love food and cleaning is not fun). However, I probably need to include some healthy food (at least that's what I'm telling myself today).
This morning I started with this recipe for a blueberry and spinach smoothie:

The goal was to find something easy, yummy and healthy, not necessarily something from the paleo-diet, so I left out the whey protein and flax seed. I used fresh blueberries so I added in a few ice cubes. It was very easy to make (my handful of spinach was pretty big...) and the clean-up was also quite simple. The smoothie was delicious! I probably ended up with 3-4 servings of fruit/veggies which was a good deal. This is something that could easily be made for breakfast each morning!
I also decided to try another recipe today for strawberry granita:

The recipe is completely vegan (little bro.... You'd like it) and really easy to make. I used two tablespoons of lemon juice and just under 1/4 cup of sugar (which was more than enough!). I also added about 1/4 cup water in order to get more of an ice consistency. In all honesty, I could have poured this in a cup straight out of the blender and chugged it down! Yummy!!
It's still in the freezer, but I'm sure it's going to be delicious! I'll have to share tomorrow.
