Sunday Organization.... Smoothies!

So on Sundays I like to dedicate part of my day to getting a little organizing done.  Whether its paper work, cleaning, laundry or food organizing is what keeps me mobile.  If I didn't have organization then I'd be lost and way may stressed.   So today I put together some smoothie bags.  I love to have a good fruit smoothie for breakfast, but some mornings there literally isn't time to gather all the dozen fruit and other needed supplies.  Today I tackled that issue by gathering all my frozen fruit and creating individual smoothie bags.  I just simply added about one cup of mixed frozen fruit to each bag.  Now all I have todo is pour that one bag into the blender, add a dollop of Greek yogurt and some juice or water and breakfast is done.  In the long run it probably only saves me about 5 minutes per smoothie, but hey 5 minutes is 5 minutes.  I made 20 smoothie bags in about 10 minutes.

5 minutes per bag * 20 bags = 100 minutes of extra time..... What could you do with 100 extra minutes?

    1. It's very simple Shannon. I like to add plain greek yogurt for added protein without added fat, and then I use some sort of a fruit juice to bring it all together. I try to find a sugar free juice to keep it extra healthy.
