Now that I am in my 30s I am starting to pay closer attention to things like skincare, healthy eating and exercise. I have always been aware of these things because I grew up as an active kid, ate well and was taught about how to take care of my skin at a young age, so I think generally I know how to live a healthy lifestyle…
But living in New York, it can be really easy to let things slide because of how accessible Seamless is (who’s with me?!) and how there always seems to be an excuse to meet friends for after work drinks and dinner. So if I’m not careful, I can really fall off the wagon with healthy eating as well as exercising and then I end up feeling lethargic and just well, blah.
A while ago I bought a Bullet blender, but never got around to using it. How awful is that?! I have this perfectly good little appliance that I really like, just sitting in my kitchen, but instead of making smoothies at home, I’ll spend close to $10 on a green juice at Juice Generation. That can add up quickly, let me tell you.
I started asking my friend Jennie about what she uses to make her juices, smoothies, soups and sauces (she even makes her own almond butter!) and she told me she swears by her Vitamix. This information coupled with the fact that I have been obsessively watching Tasty videos before bed, (I really want to make this!) not only makes me want to cook, but take control over what I am eating a bit more.
I’m really excited about my new purchase, which should arrive tomorrow, and am making a pact with myself to actually use this appliance, plus share what I create with it on the blog. So, with all of that said, consider this post a way of me sharing my foray into cooking and making more things at home! YAY!
I would LOVE to know any recipes (can be anything you want) that you guys make using a blender. I’m a total novice, so any tips/tricks/thoughts are welcome! xo
P.S. Pretty excited about these guides to use as a jumping off point…
