I was doing so well, right on track .. until the afternoon where I was bored and sitting at home with nothing to do.. then I went on a rampage for crap food. Fuck !

Hopefully, I can resist later and just have a small healthy dinner ..

Fuck my life. I ate the whole bag of pistachios .. I just couldn't stop. FUCK !!

Or else I woulda been okay .. but now, waay over my calories for the day.

I can't believe I didn't post about this earlier ..

T E A ..

According to Wikipedia, tea has been around since 3200 years ago, I started drinking tea since I was really young. It's my number one chosen drink of choice of all time !

Chinese tea is my favorite, specifically Jasmine at the moment. But I love all sorts.

And hell no, none of that sugar and milk crap. I only drink tea with water. Probably anywhere from 3-10 cups a day on a daily basis.

"Laozi (600-517 BC), the classical Chinese philosopher, described tea as “the froth of the liquid jade” and named it an indispensable ingredient to the elixir of life. "

Indeed, it's the elixir of my life, I'm pretty sure I'd die without it.. lol

Also it has many many health benefits, I'm not gonna list them .. you can google to find out more.

I'm gonna get back to my tea now, laters.

Spinach ..

and strawberries ..

1/2 cup raspberries (32 cal)
1/2 cup spinach (7 cal)
2 strawberries (11.05 cal)
1 tsp honey (20 cal)
2 oz water
2 ice cubes


or

1 cup spinach (7 cal)
2 strawberries (11.05 cal)
1 tsp honey (20 cal)
2 ice cubes



Finally, I have spinach in my fridge again .. unfortunately I didn`t have any sweet fruits such as cantaloupe or watermelon =(

So I broke my own rule and used a tsp of honey ..

Anyways, this drink is low cal, healthy and great tasting !

Apple Carrot Ginger ..

with watermelon and strawberries ..

1 small carrot (21 cal)
1/2 an apple (30 cal)
1 cup watermelon (46 cal)
2 strawberries (11.05 cal)
slice of ginger
4 ice cubes
water as needed



I chopped up the apple and carrot to make it easier on my blender. I use a hand held blender unfortunately.

Originally, I just wanted an apple carrot drink .. but it seemed to be tasteless, so I added watermelon .. which made it too sweet, so I threw in strawberries.

Also, the ginger gives it a really good flavor .. I think it`d taste even better with a chunk of cantaloupe, but I got lazy.

This recipe makes 2 cups.

Happy drinking !

I wanna be a kid again ..

even for just a moment.

I couldn`t resist buying a few lollipops from the lady in the bathroom at the club.

Oh, to be a child again, candy would be the highlight of my day ..

At least I can always reminisce .. <3

Just can`t stop ..

.. this time with lettuce !

1/2 banana (60 cal)
2 strawberries (11.05 cal)
1/4 red bell pepper (25 cal)
1/4 green bell pepper (25 cal)
1/2 cup watermelon (23 cal)
1 cup lettuce (8 cal)
4 ice cube



I originally just wanted to make another bell pepper smoothie, but was too lazy to grab raspberries, so I winged it and threw whatever else I thought would taste good together into the blender. The lettuce was an experiment, you can`t really taste it .. but it left specs of green in the red, which looks kinda nice.

This recipe makes 2 cups.

Smoothie Fever ..

the red bell pepper ..

1/4 banana (30 cal)
1/4 red pepper sliced (25 cal)
1/4 cup raspberries (16 cal)
2 strawberries (11.05 cal)
2 large ice cubes



I`ve been infested with the smoothie fever !!

The red bell pepper is such a nice vibrant red, I wanted to incorporate it into a smoothie .. and it worked !

Again, for those who find it bland, you should add agave. And double the recipe if you want a cup, right now this recipe makes 1/2 cup.

Just blend it all together, it can`t be any easier than this.

Cheers !
