Cantaloupe Smoothie
~Back to Healthy Eating
For a few weeks now I have been eating pints and pints of Hagen Daz.
and I am not really sure what it was that started this binge as I often really have to 'be in the mood' for Ice cream which usually only happens every few months on the norm.
Perhaps it was that it was on sale that week...$4.99, which is ridiculously cheap. That could have been what started it, but with that #breakingtheseal it promoted weeks of unhealthy eating, which is really unlike me. The pints of Hagen Daz was accompanied by countless bags of chips as well.
True it is summer so I could very well use that as a plausible excuse however the weeks of unhealthy eating started to take a toll and I started to feel really sick and run down.
So when Root Cellar posted their weekly deals, which I get the newsletters for they had Cantaloupe on sale and posted a recipe for a 'Cantaloupe Smoothie' which was calling my name....and like they say "The heart wants what it wants"
Daughter #2 and I made a trip to The Root Cellar http://therootcellar.ca/ I bought all I needed to make the smoothie and headed back to her place....I didn't know what to expect because up till this point I have made my own smoothie's with no recipe for years and have grown accustom to them so this was an adventure....and HOLLY COW WOW!!!! #YUM
It was so good I had to share it with everyone.
