Cinnamon Roll Smoothie

Happy New Year!!

I have to admit that my end of the year eating was really horrible...plus I did something to my hip while running and I haven't been to the gym in a few weeks. Oddly enough, I'm craving the gym and getting back to eating healthy.

2015 was a roller coaster of a year. On Jan 1st, my Dad went into the ER with trouble breathing and he ended up having pneumonia. He was told that he would make a full recovery...but with all of his other health issues, including kidney failure, he passed away July 29th.

I gave birth to my sweet baby girl, Arabella Skye on March 6th. I will never forget talking to my Dad for the first time in months (he had a breathing tube in his throat and since I was super pregnant I was allowed to visit him in the ICU) I burst into tears, it was an amazing surprise.

My husband started a new job in sales with an amazing company called Power Home Remodeling Group (if anyone in the NJ/PA area needs windows, a roof, siding, doors, or gutters, let me know!)

Losing my Dad has been the hardest thing I've ever had to go through. He was sick for years, but the end came sooner than we all thought it would. We were by his side when he took his last breath. I cherish the moments we had together,but they were far too short.



Woah...sorry about the sob-fest for those of you who don't know me personally.

Here's the Cinnamon Roll Smoothie recipe that the headline promised.

I didn't have an bananas and the recipe still was delicious! I have a magic bullet and I used that instead of a regular blender.


1 cup coconut milk (canned, full fat)
1 small apple, chopped
1 banana, peeled and chopped
1 tsp honey
3/4 tsp cinnamon
Ice


Add all ingredients to the blender and blend until smooth!
