day 40: flamenco

I was lazy this weekend and didn’t get around to posting all my green smoothies. My favourite favourite favourite so far was this little ditty:

Apple Pie Smoothie!!

I’m trying my hardest to remember exactly what was in it. I was too busy enjoying it to write down the ingredients. Here’s a rough estimate:

Apple Pie Smoothie:

2 apples
3 c. kale
1 handful of raisins
6 almonds
1 tsp. hemp seeds
1 tsp. cinnamon
sprinkle of cloves
1 c. water

Even Bagigis loved it. Although she whines for all my green smoothies … such a healthy dog!

Look at that tongue go!

I have to admit that these green smoothie weekends suck. I’m craving a hot meal! Especially after watching Matt scarf down a delicious looking toasted prosciutto cotto sandwich with cheese. Oooh man.

Saturday night I went to a Rodrigo y Gabriela concert in Royal Oak. Honestly, I had never heard of them before but Matt’s friend asked us if we wanted to go. They were PHENOMENAL! They play flamenco guitar, but not traditional. Very edgy. I could not believe how fast they move their hands! Has anyone else ever heard of them? Check out their YouTube Videos. I tried to take pictures, but it didn’t work out so well :(

This morning I went to a Power Yoga class at my gym. Usually in this class I sweat like crazy and get a really tough workout. The last two weekends I have found the class to be really easy! I like to think I’ve been getting better, but likely the instructor has been a bit easier on us.

The highlight of my day today (maybe a bit pathetic) was getting this adorable doorhanger from Dollarama:

Matt and I saw it on his grandmother’s door when we went to visit her and I thought it was soooo cute! I wanted one too. I’m so stoked for Easter… mainly because of all the chocolate, eggs, and I’ll be able to eat solid foods again on the weekends!
