This may not be the case for most people, but I LOVE Mondays. I don’t have work Monday mornings which gives me time to write, check emails, read blogs, work out, clean the house… endless opportunities to get my life in order.
I started this morning with almost an hour-long workout: Solar Flow from Yoga Download and Jillian Michaels Shred. It was a great start to a very busy week (almost done with Horrible Temp Job!!).
To refuel and rehydrate I had water, coffee, and a smoothie with Amazing Meal.
I love that mug, by the way. It’s huge, first of all, and it says: Good Morning! Believe in Yourself!
Amazing Grass sent me some of their products to try last week and I’ve been making my way through them. I’ll give you a full review later in the week. Today I added the Pomegranate Mango Infusion packet to my smoothie:
- I frozen banana
- Handful frozen spinach
- Handful frozen peaches
- Almond milk
- 1 packet Pomegranate Mango Infusion
Here’s the deal with this powder: I thought I might mind the wheat grass (the “healthy taste”) of the mix, but that’s not what bothers me. With the flavored Amazing Grass powders, there seems to be a underlying chalky sweet taste that really overpowers the beverages. With a superfood mix that includes fruits and veggies, protein blends, wheat grass, barley, and alfalfa, you should just accept it for what it is and not bother covering it up with flavor. So that being said, I’m actually looking forward to trying the Original Amazing Meal, since I think that lacks any flavor. I drank half the smoothie and I’ve saved the rest for tomorrow morning. It’s certainly not horrible, just sticky-sweet, which is not my thing. But stayed tuned because I have other products to review (and I didn’t have complaints about them all 
)!
I’m off to tackle a hefty to-do list. This weekend was super productive and I’m trying to drag that productivity into the week. I got some big projects done, including major room reorganization. It looks so pretty now. It’s got such a good, positive feeling and it was so peaceful doing yoga on the floor this morning.
You can see Jack’s bed and Tike’s tank. I hung up photos and pictures, finally (only lived in the place for 6 months…). I hope you enjoy The Ninja Tips for Healthy Living. That was there long before I moved in…
Off to be productive! Happy Monday, everybody!
I found the same issue with a lot of the Amazing Grass fruit flavored packets.
The chocolate is my fave, or just the plain original.
I find if I mix it really well and add almond milk, spinach and bananas it doesn’t taste as chalky.
Yeah, I’m kinda wondering if I’m not mixing it well enough. I don’t have a real blender, just one of those immersion stick blenders which is probably not as forceful.
I don’t like Mondays but I work from Monday to Friday. I don’t really like Sunday cause it’s the last day of the weekend LOL
Your mug is very cute. What animal do you have in the cage on the floor?
I have 2 cats and 1 rabbit (you can see photos of them on my blog).
I’m crossing my fingers for the plain version!
