My husband is a smoothie fiend; me not so much. I prefer a cold slushy drink over a smoothie any day. When I was introduced to this green smoothie by a good friend, I did not think I would like it AT ALL. But after my first sip I fell in love! The taste was fresh and unexpectedly sweet. I never could have imagined that a green smoothie could taste so good! It's a perfect refreshing drink on a hot day or as an early morning pick-me-up.




1 cup spinach
1 cup green grapes
1 small lime wedge
1 tsp date paste (optional)
1 cup ice

Blend all ingredients in a powerful blender.
Pour into a fancy glass and garnish with a lime wedge.


(Sip slowly and imagine yourself relaxing on a tropical island)

Welcome to my little blog! I'm so excited to be sharing our journey with all of you. I'll be posting recipes I've tested, that my husband has really enjoyed and asked me to make again. I'm so lucky to have a man that will eat nearly ANYTHING I make. It really makes eating healthy a whole lot easier.

We both love chocolate a lot, so I'm going to share a healthy chocolate pudding recipe with you.  It's so rich, creamy and unexpectedly delicious. I added a little espresso powder since my husband loves coffee. Definitely a treat that should be enjoyed on a special occasion. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
