Good Friday and our summer vacation!

Spring Break has officially begun!



Yesterday I used a packet of Jay Robb pina colada whey protein powder to make a tropical smoothie. I figured a tropical smoothie would get me in the mood for our summer vacation.



Ingredients:

1 packet Jay Robb Whey Protein (Pina colada)
1 can Dole Pineapple Juice (8oz)
1 frozen banana
8 frozen strawberries
1/2 unsweetened almond milk
1/2 cup frozen diced mango

Into the blender until smooth and creamy. This was like soft serve frozen yogurt!



And it tasted like...





Paradise. That's right! We're going to spend our one year wedding anniversary in Hawaii! Specifically Kauai!

We're totally stoked. I'm not excited about buying a bathing suit but what else is new?

I just want to lay on the beach, hike, snorkel, drink tropical drinks and spend some quality time with my husband. Have any of you been to Kauai? And trip advice for us?



I also made a lasagna without using a recipe for the first time! I was impressed with myself.

It's just no-boil lasagna noodles, TJ's vodka sauce, spinach (3 cups worth!), ricotta, seasonings, mozzarella, chicken meatballs, sun-dried tomatoes, broccoli and parmesan all layered in a pan. I love when my kitchen experiments work out!

Do you have any summer plans yet? How about Spring break plans?

You already know our summer plans. We're going to Las Vegas on Monday for Spring Break. Bouchon, here we come!
