Morning friends!
I’ve been oh so curious about OhSheGlows green goddess breakfast smoothies that I decided to give it a try myself this morning
2 kale leaves, a handful of blackberry’s, vanilla soy milk, ice, and half a banana are what went into the creation, and here’s what came out:
Does it make the grade? Let’s see:
Taste: B
Looks: C-
Nutrition: A+
It turned out a lovely shade of gray thanks to the kale and blackberry’s, but tastes pretty good! I think I’ll add some honey next time for sweetness. I would make this again for sure! It was quick and easy and I drank it while I did some chores around the house.
Then I did my workout for the day, and that’s where the title comes in. I didn’t feel like going to the gym so I decided to do arms/abs at home with crunches and strength bands, but I wanted to get in some cardio to loosen my body up because it is SORE from yesterdays killer 8 mile run! I considered yoga since I’ve been meaning to give it a try with all they hype around it, but decided today wasn’t the day and hit my DVD collection to try and find something, and that’s when I found these:
Don’t judge me 
I actually go these as a gift years ago (please note, I didn’t say they were a GOOD gift lol) I have never tried them before but decided they might be fun on an informal workout day like this. I went with the hip hop one since lap dancing isn’t really my style I did it for about 20 minutes and it was actually kind of fun. Very skanky hip hop dancing, but it got my heart rate up and stretched me out a bit (all those booty slides stretched out my hammy’s!!) I can’t lie, I would do this again I need to brush up on my stripper skills in case I get laid off next month anyway….KIDDING!!!!!!
Peace out lovers!

those dvds are awful. i had one, i think sitting on the couch laughing at carmen burned more calories than the video itself.
they shouldnt even be called excercise videos.

I have some kale to use up and I was contemplating one of those smoothies but I’ve been a little scared until I just read your post
I can live with a B for taste! Thanks for the motivation..maybe I’ll try it tomorrow.

I’m not sure I’ll ever be brave enough for the kale smoothie but thanks for giving me a push!

Oooooh, I have a Yoga Booty Ballet Cardio Cabaret (what a mouthful) that I love! I haven’t done it in so long – thanks for reminding me!

the smoothie actually looks kinda good in a fun cup like that. more like a “drink” instead of a healthy smoothie.

Hahaha I am embarassed to admit that I have these DVD’s too. At least it adds some fun and laughter to a workout!

Hey, nice cup… I was just at the MOA this weekend and it was ca-razy! I didn’t eat at the Rainforest on this trip at all, but I walked by it and heard the thunderstorms coming from inside. Smoothie looks good too, I need to give the green add-ins a go.

Oh my gosh, I have both of those DVDs (got them as bachelorette party gifts, haha) and I have to say, they are quite good! I love the hip hop cardio routine the most, but the aerobic strip tease always leaves me sore the next day.

I have those videos! Well actually just the first one, and then I think the second one “fit to strip” or something like that. It’s an actual work out that doesn’t involve stripping and it’s surprisingly tough!

I have heard of those too..fit to strip? hahah, she’s too much! Carmen is a good role model, but its stinks that she tries to use her sex to sell herself so much…shes better than that! Although i cant deny she is a hottie.
