I have come to look forward to Wednesdays! Wednesdays are just us girls at our house and we have a nice little routine in place. I get some work done while Ellie gets her dance clothes on and plays! We then hit up Starbucks for some coffee and a chocolate milk (Horizon Organic Chocolate Milk) on our way to Ellie’s Ballet class. Ellie then dances with Teacher Hanna and her little buddies while I watch through the window (no Moms allowed-Boo Hoo!).
After dance class we come home and make a smoothie for lunch. Ellie gets to pick the ingredients (I must admit she does a pretty good job) and place them in the blender!
Last week Ellie pointed to the Greek Gods and it was a great choice. If you are not familiar with the Greek Gods RUN don’t walk to the nearest store. This stuff is the BOMB! We use it as yogurt, mix it with berries, cereal, in place of sour cream on dishes, and of course in smoothies.
Greek yogurt is one of Dr. Oz’s 8 favorite foods (see the rest here) and it is good for us because it has live cultures and probiotics. Live and active cultures are beneficial bacteria that naturally reside in your digestive tract and improve intestinal function, promote good digestive health, and lead your body’s defenses against a number of ailments.
