I wanted a place to collect all my smoothie recipes and this was it!

The first 4 use Greek yogurt and frozen berries to make protein packed recovery shakes.

The second group of 4 use fresh fruits and frozen banana for a rich, creamy texture.

The last group of 4 are green smoothies! They all use yogurt for added protein and spinach for extra nutrients!

Out of all of these, the Raspberry Peach Recovery Smoothie, Cinnamon peach, and Not so Chunky Monkey were definitely my favorites. I have a small, cheap portable blender and love throwing together a quick smoothie to take to class with me! :)

There’s more healthy snack recipes here. :)

Black Bean Quinoa Veggie Patties (the pics above show them uncooked)

These were a-maze-ing! Full of flavor, spice, and Gluten-Free! I topped mine with avocado and wrapped it in lettuce. Pretzel buns also go well with this.

You can’t have a legit BBQ without a badass potato salad. But don’t be a dick and buy that nasty shit at the store. Make this instead; it is cheap as fuck and super easy. You can even leave it in the sun for a minute and it won’t get all gross like that potatomayo nonsense they try to pass off as a salad. People don’t deserve that basic, bland shit.

 

FRESH HERB POTATO SALAD

1 1/2 pounds of small red or Yukon gold potatoes

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

3 tablespoons white wine vinegar

2 tablespoons lemon juice (about 1 lemons)

¼ cup extra virgin olive oil

2 cloves of garlic

1/3 cup shredded carrot (I used 1 normal-sized carrot. Don’t try to grate baby carrots; you will fuck your hand up)

¼ cup of chopped chives (you can use green onions to save some cash)

¼ cup chopped dill

salt and pepper

 

Cut your potatoes in half or until they are in pieces that you can actually put in your mouth. Nobody should need a knife to eat potato salad, that shit is fucked. Boil some water in a medium pot, add a pinch of salt, and the potatoes. Boil them until you can easily stab a fork through one, like 10-15 minutes depending on the size of your potatoes. If you cook them too long they start falling apart and your salad will be a fucking mess. Set a timer if your ass is easily distracted.

While the potatoes cook, cut up the garlic into a bunch of tiny pieces. Mix together the mustard, vinegar, lemon juice, oil, and garlic in a small glass. Drain the potatoes and put them in a large bowl. Add the dressing and toss it all together. Add the carrots, herbs, and a little salt and pepper and mix them in. Let the salad sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes so that the potatoes can soak in all the flavor. If it looks dry after that then add a little more vinegar and olive oil and stir that bitch. Make this shit the day before you go somewhere and keep it in the fridge. Nobody will know the fucking difference.
