Valentine's {and other} Smoothie Yumminess!

Bayley is in the midst of C25K (Couch to 5K) training.  She has her daddy's discipline and determination,and she is persevering despite weather issues, crazy schedules, and the aches and pains that accompany beginning a new workout program.  I am so proud of her!

In addition to the C25K workouts, she is making some changes to her diet.  The whole family has benefited from one of these: daily smoothies.  So far, she's been using various combinations of fruit, Greek yogurt, and flaxseed.  We're in the process of collecting new recipes to try in the coming weeks. 

Today she made a special treat for Valentine's Day: Strawberry/Chocolate Chip.  It was a fun change for the holiday. :)

Valentine's Day: Strawberry/Chocolate Chip         
  

I wish I'd thought to start taking pictures when she first started the smoothies, but I didn't start until this past Monday.  Here are this week's creations: 

Monday: Strawberry/Banana/Pineapple

Tuesday: Strawberry/Blackberry/Banana

Wednesday: Strawberry/Banana/Pineapple (a repeat at little sister's request :))  




Do you have a favorite smoothie combo?  We'd love to hear about it in the comments!  Keep an eye out here for more of Bay's creations. :)
