Pomegranate Smoothie + Sadie Looks Stressed

September 25, 2010 by Julie 26 Comments

This Saturday morning has been go, go, go from the minute we woke up!

We spent the first hour of our day doing dishes and laundry and picking up around the apartment.

After snacking on a quesadilla (Colby jack string cheese warmed on a whole wheat quesadilla), Ryan and I headed to the gym for a fast and sweaty workout.

I did a random cardio hodgepodge that included:

  • 10 min. stair master
  • 30 min. elliptical
  • 1 round At Home Cardio Blast (Same one I did last weekend)

Once Ryan and I were done at the gym, we headed home and leashed up Sadie for a 2.5 mile walk.

Sometimes I get the feeling that Sadie doesn’t particularly enjoy lots of loving cuddles on our walks…

I mean that face doesn’t exactly say “I love you, Mom! More cuddles, please!” 😉

Ryan and I couldn’t stop laughing when we saw her stressed out bug-eyed face in that picture.

In the words of Chandler Bing, she’s a hoot!

Once our walk was over, we ran a couple of errands and Ryan got a haircut. By the time we got back home it was after 11 a.m. and I was more than hungry!

Breakfast

I wanted a F-A-S-T breakfast and thought a cold, creamy smoothie sounded perfect.

I busted out the blender and got to work.

I made a pomegranate smoothie by combining the following:

  • 1 c. POM Wonderful pomegranate cranberry juice
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • 1 HUGE frozen banana
  • 1/2 c. cottage cheese

The result was a thick, creamy smoothie with a little bit of tang from the pomegranate juice. It was tasty!

I served it in an adorable wine glass that I received from blog reader Alyssa who noticed that I am a huge lover of Etsy, an online marketplace where artists can sell handmade goods.

Alyssa has a super-crafty shop of her own through Etsy and sells hand painted wine glasses that she creates herself.

How cute is this Wine-O glass?

It’s definitely meant for a true wine-o, because it is huge!

It held my entire smoothie without a problem.

Plus, the glass matched my smoothie, and you guys know how much I love matchy matchy things. 😉

I gotta get runnin’ because I have a mani/pedi appointment today and then Ryan’s mom and her boyfriend are heading over to hang out for the rest of the day.

See ya in a bit!

    I love that wine glass! 🙂 Also, I know it sounds weird, but I wish my gym at a stair master. It’s in my apartment complex, so it just has treadmills, elliptical, bike, weights and weight machines, which isn’t bad, but I miss the stair master, and taking classes!

    I saw the same breed dog you have at the vet this morning. I was trying to tell my hubby the name of the breed and I forgot. Can you mention it again?

    What kind of vanilla protein powder do you use? In you Q&A, you said you liked All the Whey, but I was looking for it online, but it looks like it was discontinued. Where do you buy yours, or do you have any good suggestions for protein powders?
