Well, that’s a bold statement there, Katie, you are saying to yourself right now. Yes, perhaps it is, but also it’s the truth. Yesterday’s lunch was pretty much my favourite lunch ever, so I felt the need to share the beauty with you all. Hope you don’t mind. ;) That’s a tiny baguette sandwich (it’s all of the baguette that was left- my sandwiches are usually bigger than that, don’t worry) with brie and a few thin slices of an organic fuji apple (seriously the most delicious apple you will ever have). Any rich cheese mixed with fruit on a sandwich is très français! Another delicious combination is gruyère and pear. YUM. If you’ve never tried it, I recommend getting on that ASAP.
I also made the most delicious smoothie (which is also the perfect post-workout recovery drink, fyi):
-1 frozen banana (I slice a ripe banana and throw it into a ziplock bag and freeze it just like that)
-1 Cup of frozen strawberries (about 5)
-1 Cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
-2 generous handfuls of spinach
-1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Blend until smooth! It’s thick and heavenly. Yes, it looks murky green, but in this case, looks do not matter one bit. Trust. Plus, it’s super good for you and energizing!
{this is me, after said smoothie. ready for the day!}
What’s your favourite sandwich?
Do you have a go-to smoothie recipe or ingredient? I’m pretty much throwing spinach into every smoothie I make from now until forever.

I always add coconut milk to my smoothies, the fruit depends on what I have available at the house, and occasionally I put canned coconut milk (its thick like greek yogurt) into my smoothies :) And normally I put cocoa powder into them too!
Ooh yummy! I’ve used coconut milk to make curries and the like, but never thought to put it in smoothies! I’ll have to try it!

i’m getting into the habit of more green smoothies! they’re so great! i throw in spinach, drinking yogurt, peanut butter, bananas and strawberries. yumm! also, i so so SO miss brie! we used to take jam and put it on top of a chunk of brie, then wrap crescent rolls around it and bake it in the oven. then serve with crackers : )
Aren’t green smoothies the best?! Yum that brie recipe sounds so good! Oh, brie. le sigh.
