Well, I made it back for the second day of this adventure this time around. I was a little bad last night and had some cereal (chocolate cheerios!), but I was good the whole rest of the day, which included me actually cooking for the first time in a long time!
I had a rough start today after a rough night of not sleeping much. This deployment is now hitting me pretty hard, and I'm starting to realize he's not coming back all that soon (contrary to what he says to ease my mind). But in all my pity-partyness this morning I did manage to get my butt up off the couch and took the dog for our second walk this week. They have only been one mile, 20 minute walks, but right now I just want to work into getting into a routine. This morning's really helped to relieve some stress. I put on some Lost Prophets and just blocked everything out for the full 20 minutes, well until we passed some dogs and I had to focus on dragging Kisa away... Anyway, enough rambling! Onto my first review: Yoplait Smoothies!
I had one of these after my walk both yesterday and today and in short, they are pretty dang good! All you have to do is add milk and throw it in the blender and instant breakfast! (or snack or whatever) I only bought the Triple Berry one, but it's good. I will say to follow the directions exactly though! Yesterday, I added ice because I like really thick smoothies. Well, the blender couldn't handle it so it took a good long while to blend and then tasted gritty due to the ice. Today, I decided not to tweak it and it turned out great! They come two servings to a pouch and I just made half yesterday and put the bag back in the freezer with a rubber band around it and did the other half today. What is even better about these smoothies is that I have a coupon for them! Go here:

Select Yoplait from the list in the sidebar to find it quicker. I was able to print 3 copies of the $1 off before it disappeared. They are currently $3 at Wal-Mart so with this coupon, that makes them a dollar per smoothie. Much less than going out to get one from somewhere. I will add a picture when I find my camera cord. It's somewhere around here.
Ok well off to get some homework done or take a nap, one of those.
Have a super, fantastic, great day!

Hey Girl!
ReplyDeleteInstead of using ice try vanilla yogurt or something like that (something low in sugar/fat if you're trying to be healthy). When I worked at Dunkin Donuts, we used ice & syrup for slushies and yogurt/ice cream & milk for smoothies. Hope this helps! :)

Thanks! It comes with frozen yogurt pieces in it and ends up being thick enough by itself, I should have just tried it as it said to start lol.
ReplyDeleteHaha. I've tried that stuff. Cody likes going out and buying a bunch of fresh fruit and mixing it all together in his own homemade fruit smoothie. He's pretty good at it, but everytime I try it never comes out quite right! lol
ReplyDeleteLol. I'm horrible at making my own. So I figured I'd try buying it which turned out pretty well. haha
