Easy Peasy Breakfast!!!

Gotta be out the door early every morning?  I know all about that!  I also know that eating within 30-60 minutes of waking is incredibly important for your body.  The "I don't have time" excuse is a pretty common one I hear when I'm helping people with their nutrition.  Well, I've got a super quick and delicious, nutritious breakfast smoothie for everyone - it literally takes 3-5 minutes.  If I can do it before I head out to my 5am class, so can you!

The first thing you're gonna need is a decent blender.  I know, I know....those can be expensive.  I thought the same thing, but you know what?  I have used mine EVERY DAY since I purchased it last October!  The Ninja above is the exact one I have.  The "to go" cups make it SO easy!  You can blend your ingredients right in the cup, throw on the lid and run out the door.

Next you're going to need some yummy ingredients, because who wants to drink something that tastes like shit, first thing in the morning?  Below are the items I use every single day, but you can change things up depending on your tastes.  Add in some almond butter or use blueberries and raspberries - the possibilities really are endless.

And there you have it folks!  A nutritious, super fast, and super yummy breakfast, pre-workout or midday/late night snack.  You have no more excuses!!  #yourewelcome

P.S.
Can you believe I actually made it through an entire blog post without using the word Fuck?!!
Damn it......there goes that win.... ;-)

The Choice is Yours.

Lisbeth Darsh is one of my all time favorite bloggers.  She's smart, witty and she just makes SENSE.  I've had the saying below tucked away for almost a year.  Pulling it out to read, whenever I need motivation or am feeling less of myself.  I feel, as women, we spend so much damn time trying to be what everyone else wants us to be, instead of just doing what WE WANT and being what WE ARE.  Being REAL and truthful with others and myself is something I pride myself on.  And you know what?  Other people notice when you actually live a truthful, real life.  Those "One Uppers" (yeah, we all know people like this) or people who shit talk to make themselves look more "important"...well I hate to tell all those idiots, but people see right through your insecurities.  Really?  You do EVERYTHING better than everyone else?  Or you seriously think we believe that every story we tell you, you have either done it or know how to do it?  Get over yourself and be HONEST.  Why try to be so perfect?  Imperfections are what make us who we are, so own that shit!

I hope this inspirational quote does as much for you as it does for me.  I typed it up for you below, because my awesome meme, made the type kinda small :)  You're welcome!

"People say fear is a choice.

Well, so is ignorance.

Stupid is a choice.

BEING LESS THAN YOURSELF is a choice.

Dumbing yourself down for others.  Lifting less weight, because you're scared of being strong.

Snarky gossip.

ALL choices.

Keeping your mouth shut when you really want to stand up and take on the forces of hate in this world?  That's a choice too.

In my opinion, we spend far too much time on being "good girls" and far too little time on being badass bitches.

Imagine what your life would be like if you just said every morning,

"Here's who the hell I am.  Time to get shit done!"

Hide your light under a basket?  Smash the basket.  Blind the crowd with your light.

Even the Bible says, "Nor do people light a lamp, and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house."

Stop hiding.  Go fucking light up the world!"
