Happy first of the month to all my readers! What a great way to start the month then by working out! Went to the gym for 2 hours and had a nice session on the treadmill and elliptical, which happen to be my favorite machines. 

School is officially out for the summer in just 1 week! Well, I have one more regular/review class day this week, then on Tuesday I have my only 2 finals. I will then look into finding a job or a paying internship (these are rare). Life of an undergrad.

I love a blog called Gina’s Skinny Recipes and came across a recipe that resembles my grandmother’s on the go oatmeal shake recipe! I tried it yesterday and is basically tastes the same as my grandmothers.

Here is the recipe:

Avena - Healthy Oatmeal Shake

Servings: 4 • Size: 1 cup • Calories: 123.9 • Fat: 1.8 g • Protein: 6.8 g • Carb: 21.3 g • Fiber: 3.2 g

• 1/2 cup quick oats
• 2 cups water
• 1 cup fat free milk
• 1 cup ice
• 3 tbsp sugar
• 2 tsp ground cinnamon

Cook oats and water in a small pot for about a minute or two, stirring often until it becomes thick and bubbly. Remove from heat and let it cool a few minutes.

In a blender add milk, sugar, cinnamon. Add oats and ice. Blend on high until very smooth. Chill in refrigerator or pour in a glass over ice. Enjoy!! Makes 4 cups.

I’ve given up fast food. I will only eat salads for dinner and chocolate milk for breakfast. Only Raw Food. Let’s do this! Bam! 

What are y’all giving up for Lent?
