Banana Soft Serve Obsession
The past few days have been HOT! I’ve surprised myself though, and got up earlier than normal to get my runs done in the AM when its not so hot out. 90+ degrees after work = no running for me. So morning running it was! (And I actually wasn’t planning on being so matchy with my outfit, I just really wanted to wear my new visor! Which I love by the way.) I actually really love running in the morning, but sometimes just would rather stay in bed. I need to make this more of a habit so I can free my weeknights up for relaxation (or even more yoga!…

Summer Recipes
After two years of blogging, I have a small collection of my go-to recipes that I post every once in a while. I tried to find the best ones for summer–I’ll admit, I looked back on some of my old posts and was horrified at the photography (I’m still not that great at photographing food, but I think I’ve gotten a bit better since then.) With it being the first day of Summer and all, here are some of my favorite summer recipes to start us off right! Enjoy!

Fruity Strawberry Protein Smoothie
The other morning before work I decided to go for my run. Normally I run after work so it was a nice change to get it out of the way. All throughout I was daydreaming about the smoothie I wanted to make when I was done. I had some pineapple juice and figured that would be a great addition to my normal protein smoothie…it made it so refreshing! This smoothie is a perfect post-workout breakfast. Ingredients 1/2 cup soy milk 1/2 cup pineapple juice 1 scoop brown rice protein powder 1/2 banana (fresh or frozen) 5 large frozen strawberries Instructions Throw all ingredients into blender and blend well Enjoy!

Veggie Pasta Casserole
If you know me, you know I like really quick and easy dinners. The last thing I want to do when I get home from work and the gym is to spend time cooking dinner, especially when I’m starving! Lately I’ve been pre-making my dinners ahead of time on Sundays and reheating them up during the week. I’ve found some really healthy recipes to use including this Vegetable Polenta Bake and more recently, something my mom introduced me to, the veggie pasta casserole! My mom made this for Chris and I when we got back from California. It worked out great and tasted delicious. It is super easy to make,…
