Shake Shake Shake

I haven't been much of a 'smoothie' person lately. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy a good smoothie... if someone else makes it for me, but I'm not much for making my own. However, since starting Juiceplus I have become hooked on the Complete Shakes.

Vanilla shake with frozen berries

These shakes couldn't be more easy to prepare. All you need is one scoop of the powder, ~400mls of water or almond milk and my Bamix blender. I like these shakes as is with limited ingredients, but I'm starting to include more 'stuff' into each shake. The picture above shows a vanilla shake with a few frozen berries thrown in.

Yum yum yum!

Christmas in December

Of course, Christmas is always in December, however, for some reason my friend just said this out of the blue and it made me chuckle. (I have a strange and simple sense of humor...). 

Christmas in December was a lovely chance for two of my friends and I to get together and have a dinner party sleepover... (You're never too old for sleepovers). 

We had a fairly healthy dinner compared to the traditional turkey, gravy, and potatoes spread I'm sure a lot of you will be having this winter. Our dinner was light, and refreshing. Of course, we had to throw in a little bit of indulgence... ;)
