This blog is now going to be my vision board. It will contain information about diet and exercise along with cartoons and other things that I chose to post here as I go along this journey.

There are some recipes on this page but most of them can be found under the healthy recipe tab on my main page.

Rest Stop - New Toy

I got a new toy today.  I broke down and bought a Ninja Kitchen System from Costco.  I have been using my Magic Bullet to make smoothies and I don't think is made for the use it has been getting from me lately.  I was afraid it was going to die and it seems now that both Vick and I are eating better , it wasn't going to last much longer.  When we went to Costco today they had the Ninjia on sale.  It is not what I really want but I just can't justify spending the money for a Vitamix or Blendtec.  Anyway, I bought a NInjia today and have already made two smoothies in it.  I will say it does work better than my Magic Bullet.  I am including the recipes for the smoothies I made and both of them fit in my journey.

The first one is an Apple Smoothie and the second one is a Cucumber Blast.


APPLE SMOOTHIE

Ingredients:
2 Apples, core removed and cut into large cubes (don't peel)
6-7 Frozen Strawberries
10 Seedless Black or Red Grapes

CUCUMBER BLAST

2 grapefruits, peeled and quartered
2 oranges, peeled and quartered
