Summer Salad & Smoothie

I eat a lot of salad, especially throughout the school year. Salads are the healthier option for me, but I like having fun, adding other foods to compliment. The other night, I made this light meal: salad with a homemade smoothie for desert. 

The salad:
  • Half a head of romaine lettuce
  • chickpeas
  • fresh carrots
  • mom's homemade salsa 
  • 1/2 hamburger
  • sprinkled balsamic vinegar



The smoothie (note: all ingredients were eye-balled):
  • strawberries
  • blueberries
  • plain yogurt
  • honey
  • some milk
  • ice
Normally in my smoothies, I like adding banana and instead of milk, I use orange juice but we didn't have any so I made it up! I also like my smoothies really thick to eat with a spoon, rather than having the ability to use a straw. To make it thick, add more fruit/ice/yogurt and if you would like it to be more liquidy, add more milk/juice/etc.
