This is a very quick What I Ate Wednesday, because I’ve been incredibly scatterbrained busy lately. Thank you to those who noticed my absence, by the way. Your sweet notes make my day. Really.
Like I said, this is an extremely modified version, because honestly? when I woke up this morning and posted, I thought it was Tuesday.
I had the best smoothie today, and I have to share it’s simplicity with you.
the What I Ate Wednesday smoothie
serves two
1 1/2 cups coconut milk
1 cup coffee
2 (frozen) bananas
2 scoops protein powder (raw vanilla Sun Warrior)
1 tablespoon almond butter
1 tablespoon cinnamon
Blend, blend blend!
This was incredibly creamy and delicious – I’ll probably get kicked out of the blog world for saying this, but I’m not the biggest fan of Sun Warrior vanilla, so the flavors of the coffee, banana and nut butter covered up the artificial flavor I usually taste.
This was amazing.
In other news, it is 70 degrees today! I went for a run in my newest purchase today, and LOVE it. This is the best top, and I now want it in every color (in addition to my pink one and my black one…).
What did you eat today?
Have a great night!

I definitely prefer recipes in which I can mask the flavor of the Sun Warrior too!
Love you lady! <3
yeah, I was disappointed in the Sun Warrior flavor. LOVE YOU TOO, Friend!! hope all is awesome with you!! <3 <3
Ok I love that you added a TBSP of cinnamon — I love cinnamon! Delicious.
yes – LOTS of cinnamon!
I hope things settle down for you soon! I have an apple danish and fig peanut butter…well, more than that, but those were the highlights!
oooh, apple danish! my favorite. and fig peanut butter? YUM!
I was just thinking – where is that Kristina? This afternoon while I was walking my dogs! Glad to see you’re back and drinking awesome, inspiring smoothies
aw, thanks Leanne! I’m going on vacay soon, but hopefully i’ll be posting enough that NOBODY WILL KNOW !
Oh? Where are you going on vacation?
aaahhh… Napa Valley! spa, winery and relaxation!
Yay on the warmer weather and awesome purchase. I bought a new running hat while on vacation and used it today…..LOVED it and plan on buying more.
this shirt is my new favorite! I want one in every color so I can wear it every day – I know I’m going to miss it if it’s in the laundry!
Banana and coffee is one of my favorite combos for a smoothie! Love it!
yep! my new favorite!
Coffee in the smoothie sounds like a great idea!
it is SO good… you should try!
COFFEE IN A SMOOTHIE? You are a genius.
Whitney
hee! yes… coffee in a smoothie is genius. I don’t know if I AM, but thanks
I’m not a coffee drinker, but I like it as flavoring. Maybe I’ll use a little less for my version of your smoothie .
Great idea though!
xo,
Shirley
Shirley, I’m not a BIG coffee drinker anymore – I used to be, and after no coffee for about three years, I just drank my first coffee a couple weeks ago. I still don’t drink a lot, and I like it much better in a smoothie!
YUM! That looks so good. I’m going to have to try this out soon! –Found you through Peas and Crayons
hello Angie! thanks for saying hello! I love Jen and her Peas and Crayons!
That is such a cute top!
I’ve seen coffee added to smoothies and oats before, but I’ve never tried it. I’m greedy with the taste of my one cup of morning Joe and I would hate to not be able to sip and savor it while I make my breakfast. Hmm, maybe I’ll try it on the weekend sometime?
it is MY FAVORITE new top!! I was able to get two of them, and today as I was wearing one I was thinking I want to get one in every color! (and they’re SUPER CHEAP right now – $17.00 – for awesome quality. okay, I am NOT employed by them so I’ll stop now
the coffee flavor is really great in a smoothie – I used to do it in college all the time because I could justify EXTRA coffee
mmmmmmmmmm that sounds like a fun smoothie!! I don’t drink coffee but I can appreciate how yummy it would be!!
I’ve been so busy too, it’s hard to make blogging a priority when life is so chaotic,
yeah, I actually feel like I’ve been to busy to blog for a few months now… but I get it in when I can.
Oh, Kris! I’m on the same BUSY train with you. It’s ridiculous, really. I’ve never had Sun Warrior, but if it has an artificial flavor, it’s not for me. Glad you found a combo to mask it. I love cinnamon in my smoothies!
so SO busy – we are about to leave for a couple week vacation, so even busier, but it’s been an EXCEPTIONALLY BUSY week.
A couple weeks of vacation sounds exciting! ! ! !
hope you are doing well and it is a good busy!
thank you, Mitzi, it IS a good busy!
Fancy! With teh coffee and all the nutrients in it I think this will make you really fit for the day!
Hope you’re fine (wherever you are)! I’m looking forward to you being back!
yes – I will be adding coffee more often. I did this in college (oh, many years ago…) and just recently started again. I’m not a big coffee drinker, but if Jason makes a pot, I’ll use some. we’re going on vacation soon, so part of my busy is from that, but it’s been an exceptionally busy week! all good though!
i fully expected to see a bunch of booze in this post after seeing your title! haha. have you boozed it up yet? i haven’t.. but the weekend hasn’t hit yet..
haa! as of yesterday, no, I had not yet had a drink! today we are having margaritas, though! just two – I have not had a drink in a while and I have a BUSY day tomorrow! Happy Cinco de Mayo, within reason!
Goodness, that is a ROCKIN’ smoothie, if I’ve ever seen one. I love the ingredients. I usually don’t make mine so decadent (with coffee and all..) but YUM. I need to revise my standard green smoothie now.
the coffee addition is YUUUUMMY ! and gives a boost! most days I also do the “standard smoothie”, but sometimes have to mix it up
My week has been nutso! just now catching up! <3 MUST try cinnamon in my smoothies! must must must! <3 love it!
it’s SO good – do try!
and what is WITH this week?!! we leave on vacation Saturday, so there’s that, but in addition to all the vacay prep it STILL seems wildly busy.
