My Favorite Everyday Smoothie

aka “The Mommy Smoothie!”

Smoothies are my number-one way to get Mazen to pack in some nutrients – and they have been since he starting eating real food! My child does not like berries (WHAT?!), so this is really the only way I can get those good antioxidants into his little body. Thus, we enjoy smoothies at least a few times a week.

Eufy sent me their latest and greatest blender to review in a blog post. I’ve had a Vita-mix for about a decade now, and this Eufy blender rivals it to a T. For now, my Vita-mix is tucked away and we’ve been loving the Eufy for the past few weeks.

They are very similar in their style and shape, as both have the blades only on the bottom and multiple speeds. But here are a few more things I love about the Eufy:

  • It’s very lightweight, so dragging it out from its storage corner is a lot easier, as it rinsing it under the faucet.
  • The Eufy fits under my cabinets (I know some Vita-mix blenders do, but my model does not)
  • The Eufy has programmed buttons for “Cleaning” and “Smoothie” that do all kinds of fancy slow-to-fast movements to create the perfect result. The blender shuts off when it’s ready!
  • The Eufy is dishwasher safe!! (Honestly, I’ve been using the self-cleaning button mostly, but this is good to know if you have a particularly garlicky recipe that needs a super clean!)

In terms of consistency, it’s spot on! The best smoothies (in my opinion!) make a tornado vortex while blending and have little bubbles upon pouring.

And check:

The consistency was perfect – smooth and silky!

Here are the ingredients to my favorite smoothie in an nicely organized chart:

And in recipe form! Note the Vega Coconut Almond is entirely optional, but I love the flavor it brings.

Post-Workout Coffee Protein Shake

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

Evernote Review: Your Digital Organization Hub

If you’re looking for a one-stop shop to organize your digital life, check out Evernote! Here’s my Evernote review and all the great features you can use to make your thoughts, notes, and files easy to find, sort, and save.  This post is sponsored by Evernote .  Raise your hand if your digital life feels cluttered. If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
