Healthy

Judging by my last two attempted Pinterest recipes, you would think I am on a health kick, but I am not. I have just been intrigued by two things lately that I want to try and they are both blog worthy.

First, I don't want to over sell this, but this Pinterest find is truly a gold mine to me. Its a Weight Watchers lemon cake recipe. I discovered my lemon obsession when I made some lemon cake balls last summer so this recipe called to me. It has 3 ingredients. Are your ready?


1 Box of lemon cake mix
20 oz. Diet 7-Up
1 tub of Cool Whip

That.is.it. Each serving is only 1.5 weight watcher points! If anything it was too easy not to try.

I made this last night and I was skeptical the whole time. I thought it was too much liquid, I thought it would never cook right. the batter was too thin, etc...However, once it has cooled it was amazing! AND LOW FAT/CAL!

Its so moist and tastes kind of buttery. Brent and I both went back for more. If you like lemon stuff, give it a try.

Second thing was a bit more of a stretch for me. Have you heard of the Green Monster Smoothies? They are supposedly super healthy. Enriched with tons of vitamins, fiber and protein. I was so intrigued by the fact that this smoothie has TONS of spinach, yet tastes like a milkshake. I had to try it for breakfast this morning.

They blog was right, it does not taste healthy at all. You CANNOT taste the spinach at all either. I won't go on and on about the smoothie as I did the cake, but it was still very good and very filling. Perfect if you don't eat enough greens (like me) in your daily life.



1 frozen banana (peel and cut before freezing)
1 Tablespoon peanut butter
1/2 cup Vanilla Chioban greek style yogurt
1 cup Vanilla Almond Breeze milk
4 cups Spinach

Blend all ingredients together in a blender until smooth.

Brent was totally grossed out by it this morning. I made him taste it. He did. He said it was "ok" but I think he just couldn't get passed all the spinach. I drank all of it so it was better than ok to me. It tasted like a peanut butter smoothie or milkshake. One thing I will do next time is make sure the spinach is blended well because I left too many bigger pieces which was hard to get passed I think.

I will definitely be making this again. People are calling it their "best kept diet secret".
