Spring is officially here! The Fresh Breeze, Flowers Blooming, (Allergies LOL), Spring Break, Shades, Beach and SO much more. These are a few things that come to mind when I think about Spring. This past Winter, felt like it was NEVER gonna go away. Now there are some days here in North Carolina, when the temps duo stop back down some, but I look forward to a warm steady spring. I hadn't noticed until recently how much I miss warm weather. The Beach What I look forward to the most is going to beach! It's one of my favorite places! I love the smell of the ocean, the sand, collecting sea shells, watching the birds, and just being in awe of God's Beauty. I has always been a goal of mine to live near the ocean and just be able to go everyday to the beach. Hopefully one day I will be able to do just that! Flowers I LOVE seeing all of the flowers and trees bloom during spring! I never really paid attention to the process until I moved to North Carolina, being from Florida, it just seemed like everything is always in bloom. But since I've moved and actually had REAL winters, it has allowed me to look at Spring in a whole new way! Blended Coffee Who doesn't LOVE a YUMMY, Creamy, Flavorful Blended Coffee covered in Whipped Cream? I LOVE them! I make them at home everyday! My dad makes Spanish Coffee (Bustelo) with warm milk, and I put it in a small blender with tons of ice and then put it in my reusable cup and head out the door. Sometimes I put whipped cream and let it get to the bottom while I drink and then mix it into the last little bit of coffee, its SO good! A Great way to cool off on a hot day! But if Coffee isn't your thing, I have something else that is perfect for a hot day! Smoothies Smoothies are another yummy, more healthy way to have a nice cool drink on a Spring day! Just blend your favorite Fruit, some Greek Yogurt, and some milk (Regular, Fat Free or Almond Milk) and plenty of Ice to make sure you stay nice and cool! If your not a fan of eating your fruits whole due to texture preferences this is great way to "hide" it. You can even go as far as Juicing the fruit first, to make sure all of the pulp or seeds are removed from the fruit. The fruit can be used for double purpose as the "liquid" and the fruit in your smoothie and you can continue from their with your Yogurt & Ice. You also don't add unneeded sugar from an artificial "Juice", with the fresh juiced fruit you know what is going into your smoothie, and only have the natural sugars of the fruit, anywhere that you can cut corners nutrition wise do it. it' much easier to make fresh pressed juice then it is to make Yogurt. Dining Al Fresco Nothing says Spring, like enjoying a light meal outside, breathing fresh air, feeling the breeze, hearing the birds , feeling the sun shine upon your skin and thawing out from the bitter cold Winter. There is such a huge difference (in my opinion) from eating indoors to eating outdoors. It just feels more relaxing to eat outside. It is a great way to detach from electronics and take in some quite time over your favorite meal. You can even set up a solo date dress up, order a nice meal, and eat outside in the patio area of your favorite restaurant and have "Me" time. Picnic If you are on a budget, another great way to have a nice outdoor meal is to have a Picnic! What better way to enjoy a nice Spring day then grabbing a blanket, a basket and filling it with your favorite hand held foods! Sandwiches, Pitas, Wraps, Cold Fruit, Smoothies in isolated cups, Chips and more, are perfect for a sunny afternoon at your favorite park, bring your phone loaded with your favorite music and a bluetooth speaker, and just enjoy a gorgeous day outside on ANY budget! There are plenty of activities that you can do on your picnic also, Bird Watch, People Watch, Play a game of Frisbee, Read your favorite book!
