Mixing it up!

I started this blog calling it "All the Life". It was originally going to be a way to remember all the events that go on in my life. My journal essentially.  Ok, so that didn't really happen past March! It is now August! So I am mixing it up. I renamed the blog. It has a new purpose. Hopefully I can keep it up this time!Now the purpose of my blog will be to record events from my life, and to document the smoothies I make.
In January 2012 I decided to change my breakfast habit. I dislike a "normal" breakfast. Oatmeal, yuck! Cold cereal, ewww. Eggs and pancakes, I would rather have for supper.  If I was to eat breakfast it would be tea and toast or a pastry. Not the healthiest.  So I decided that my breakfasts would change to be a smoothie. I have kept it up and have a smoothie most mornings.   Some of the creations are interesting. I have been putting a post on my Facebook account, but not the recipe. Here I will try and post the recipe.
The new name of my blog, Blended, should nicely bring everything together. "Blending" life events and my smoothie blog together.
As I sit and type this morning, I have a smoothie by my side.
Smoothie of the Day: SOTD

Mango Melon Pina Colada
1 banana
1/2 cup frozen pineapple
3/4 cup coconut milk (from a can)
1/4 cup frozen mango
1/4 cup fresh honeydew melon cut in chunks
1 T ground flax seed
1T wheat germ
2 T uncooked quick oats
Soy milk
Blend and add enough soy milk to be the consistency you want.

I made too much today. I would need to cut down on the amounts next time.  I try and make about 4 cups each day, 2 servings of 2 cups each, my husband gets the other one. 
Enjoy!
