The easiest, tastiest smoothie ever! This protein packed recipe is from my BFF Sarah, who says it’s basically an excuse to drink peanut butter. I’m all over it.

How was your 4th of July weekend guys?? Ours was super fun, full of sunshine and watermelon and slip and slides. Can’t beat that.
I think my kids partied a little too hard though. Truman woke up sick in the middle of the night. No incidents since, but that hasn’t stopped me from lining every square inch of our house with towels and sheets.

Needless to say, today has been kind of slow. All the sudden it was 2:30pm and I was still in my PJs.
Normally at this point I would surrender to the pajama gods: stay in the house all day and pray that no one knocks on the door. But NOTHING guarantees a faster knock at the door than surrendering to the pajama gods, let me tell you.

It was the water company. They left a note saying that in 20 minutes they were shutting off the water for 3 hours. THAT was when I remembered that I had a church meeting later that night and had to actually get dressed.
I think I’ve found the solution to California’s drought problem. Just threaten to shut off the water…nothing guarantees a faster shower.

Did anyone play volleyball over the holiday weekend? Perfect 4th of July pick up game, right? I’m not much of a volleyball player but I am alllll about drinking the smoothies that awesome volleyball players drink. My buddies over at Almond Breeze are partnering up with the USA Volleyball team. I feel like pretty much everyone drinks smoothies these days, but no one more so than athletes, amiright? That’s why this smoothie is packed with tons of protein. I really am full after finishing it, even though it doesn’t seem like a ton. Plus it is sooooo good. You have to let me know if you try it out! Go Team USA!
