Hello everyone!!  This weekend I took an awesome trip to Rochester and had a great time catching up with some old friends.  I went to my friend Anna’s bridal shower and was able to catch up with a lot of my college friends.  It was so great to catch up with you girls!! :-)

I also met up with one of my good friends from high school, Neil, and we went to the original Wegmans!!! I was in heaven!! It is the biggest most amazing grocery store I have ever been to!!  While we were there, I tried some Dim Sum (delicious) and some green juice, made fresh at the store.  It was a mixture of fruits and veggies, like green apples, celery, and wheat grass.  It was pretty yummy as well!

Today I want to share with you a recipe for another green drink.  A Pineapple Cilantro Protein Smoothie! I like to make smoothies, as they are easy and refreshing, especially in the summer.  Protein smoothies are really great when you are on the run too!  I like to take them as a breakfast or lunch to go!  This is a very tropical tasting smoothie, which is also very healthy!  Pineapple has lots of natural enzymes, and did you know that Cilantro works as a natural antibiotic?!  It’s a pretty cool herb!  Anyways, here is the recipe!

Ingredients:

• 2 (1/2″ thick) slices of fresh pineapple, cut into chunks
• 1 handful of fresh cilantro (you can add more or less to taste)
• 1/4 of an avocado, frozen
• 3 Tbsp hemp protein powder (I use Navitas Naturals Hemp Protein Powder)
• 1/3 cup cold water (to help with blending, add more as needed)
• 3 ice cubes

Instructions:

Pop everything into the blender, and blend until smooth.  Pour into a tall glass and enjoy with a straw! Yum!

So what do you all like to eat for meals when you are on the go?  Do you have any other Weight Watcher friendly/healthy ideas for meals on the go?  Let me know in the comments! :-)
