Cucumber Honeydew Melon Smoothie

We all love summer, but some of us hate the heat and all the sweating involved! Something I love making in summer is refreshing smoothies, and I always try to make healthy ones even though I am chocolate smoothie's #1 fan! If you check out my board Skinny and Healthy drinks you'll see some drinks I've saved that look amazing and aren't hard on our waistline. Today I'd like to talk about one specific one I did the other day and it was amazing! And it was so refreshing! My hubby also loved it, so I am definitely doing this recipe again. 

It's called "Cucumber Honeydew Melon Smoothie" by dashofeast. The link from the pin is actually not working now, it was ok before but now it just says: Not found. If you have a link to this recipe please let me know! 


Just looking at it makes me want to make it again...right now!

The recipe ingredients I made was:

1 cup frozen honeydew melon cut into small pieces
1/2 cup cucumber cut into small pieces (peeled & seeded)
1 teaspoon of lemon juice
1/4 cup plain yogurt (I used greek yogurt)
1 tablespoon honey 

You blend all of that up and you get:



I didn't really sit down and decorate the drink, I just wanted to drink it! This Pin was beyond easy! And if you don't have time to wait for the melon to freeze, then throw in some ice cubes! It's refreshing, yummy, and doesn't have a ton of calories!

CopyCat Starbucks Lemon Loaf

Some months ago I had to bring a dessert to a friend's dinner and I really wanted to try something new. So what did I do? I went to my loyal Pinterest! And I found something I have never ever tried before! A Lemon Loaf! And not just any but a copycat one of Starbucks, which so far, the copycat recipes I have tried are actually really good! The Pin I found was by Jen from CincyShopper, here is a link to the recipe from her web and you can find the Pin here . Her recipes are AMAZING! You should go check them out! The recipe itself is really easy and affordable. It makes 2 loaves which 1 loaf actually was good for 10 people, but if you want thicker slices, then it will feed fewer people. I did do some adjustments because here in Spain (where I currently live) there aren't some things that recipe called for, or they are very hard to find and when you do find them, they are VERY expensive. The original recipe ingredients were: A picture of the Pin for the recipe ...

Teeth Whitening Oil Pulling Chews

  I haven't been very active in the last years, however, that does not mean I have stopped using Pinterest and trying out new things. That being said, I will slowly be updating you with everything that I have done over the past years as well as recent things. For today I am sharing something that I had been reading about a lot but I had not ever tried: oil pulling. There are a lot of websites and people that swear by them and say they are extremely helpful. I did some research and looked through Pinterest for a recipe that caught my attention. And so I stumbled upon one that seemed like a perfect fit for what I was looking for.  This was the picture on the pin I saw, isn't it beautiful?  The Pin is taken from a website called Mommy Potamus that has a lot of interesting DIY things you can make at home. You can find the whole article about these oil pulling chews  here .  The ingredients are quite simple: coconut oil and turmeric powder. You also have the ...

TBT: Raw Brownie with Raw Berry Ice Cream

It's TBT! The day where people bring out the most embarrassing pictures from ages ago! But this blog really isn't about that, so my tbt is about that one time I was a Vegan+Rawtarian (I ate everything raw) for a month. It was hard...very hard...very expensive...and very very time-consuming! However, after some days, I felt different, in a good way. And I actually really liked using all the cool recipes I found on Pinterest. Some were delicious while others...well, I wasn't so thrilled about.  I'm a big fan of sweets, so I always would look for sweet things to make. One of my favorite desserts is brownies! Gosh, they are so good! But what do they have? Sugar, flour, eggs, milk...all the things I couldn't eat. So I did a bit of Pinterest research and found a recipe for it from a website that really helped me a lot! TheRawtarian  was my go-to website for almost all of my recipes and I still do some of them. The recipe I saw was exactly the one I was dreaming about...
