Homemade Green Smoothie Recipe

My first thought when seeing this smoothie was this: gross.
My first thought when tasting this smoothie was this: AWESOME.
I'm not a huge health nut...to be honest, I just go through "healthy phases." But I'm really trying to be more consistent with keeping up with healthy eating this time. I love Naked fruit drinks, so I thought I'd try and save a buck and make a similar one myself. This was ridiculously easy to make, and I felt so refreshed after drinking it!

All you need are these few ingredients, and a blender to put them in!

• 1/2 a cucumber, sliced
• 1 pear, sliced
• 1 green apple, sliced
• 1/2 cup Kale
• 1/2 cup ice water

If you want a little more sweetness to it, you can add 1 sliced banana. I tried to keep everything in mine  completely green but if you're just starting out, you might need to add a little bit more sweetness to it!
It's not as immediately appetizing as a fruit smoothie, but you have to remember that it's not the same kind of smoothie. This is more refreshing and healthy tasting in my opinion, and I love it!

Let me know if you try it, and tell me what you think!

just little things

Everything in this photo is under $10! I'm such a thrifty, frugal girl. Phone case- amazon, wedges- Target, fur vest- thrifted, DIY lace trim shorts- thrifted (then I added the trim!), sunglasses- Target, ring- thrifted.

detailzzzzzz

DIY lace trim shorts! I'm not entirely finished with them (have to sew up the edges- they look messy). Just use fabric glue and then sew them on!

DIY lace trim part 2- back side.

Was feeling healthy yesterday, as you can see (a rare occurance for me). I already ate all the blueberries...oops.

Salad w/ avocado! Yum yum yum.

Spent the morning out thrifting with my sister and found so many great things (those lavender shorts being one of them) and the rest you'll probably see soon! I'm such a sucker for buying sweaters in the summer because I miss autumn/winter so much....I bought like 5 and I almost regret it but not really because it's better to get them now when they're cheaper!
I also DIY'd some shorts when I got home because I had like 6 cups of coffee and was starting to go insane from a caffeine overdose and needed something to do.
I still need to touch them up a bit, but overall I'm happy with the outcome!
I'm also a huge salad nut (favorite food!) and have been trying to step outside of my caesar-salad-only routine and add new things, so yesterday I tried avocado! Tasted even better than I expected :')
We're also having an unexpected thunderstorm here right now (which is a huge blessing in Texas) so today has been a good day!

pure bliss

Hope's looked so delicious...mmmm!

Mine kind of looks like it died. But hey, it was tasty!
