Grillin' time!!

Summertime is grilling time.  Since I live in an apartment, I can't have a grill so the George Foreman will have to do.  I made this awesome turkey burger recipe from Oxygen Magazine and it tasted AMAZING.  We have made 3 batches! lol.  I modified it a bit to make it more moist (I really hate that word.)

Turkey Waldorf Burgers

Ingredients:

1 lb lean ground turkey

1 small apple  (diced)

1/4 cup chopped walnuts

1/4 cup dried cranberries

1/4 cup Bragg's liquid amino's

1/2 tsp kosher sea salt

1/2 tsp ground black pepper

All the ingredients!

Add all ingredients into a large bowl

yummy, right?


Mix well with clean hands (or a big spoon if you are weird about touching raw meat)

"sssssssssssss"


Cook thoroughly until you see no pink (the magazine says 7 minutes each side...it was about 16 minutes on the George)

Yummmy!! :-)


ENJOY!!!!


Nick and I really love them, I think you will too. I love the recipes in Oxygen

Have a great weekend!!

The "Hulk" Green Monster Smoothie

I love smoothies, but don't make them often due to always being on the go for work and such.  One of my favorite smoothies to make is my version of a "Green Monster Smoothie."  I also like to call it "The Hulk." I've seen other versions of this on Pinterest, but I decided to create my own!

Place all ingredients in a blender or Magic Bullet

Ingredients

1 frozen banana (peeled and cut ahead of time.....trust me!)

1 scoop vanilla protein powder

3-4 TBS Peanut butter (or 5.....)

1 heaping TBS plain nonfat Greek yogurt

1 handful of spinach (stay with me now...)

Unsweetened Vanilla Almond milk (about 1/2 a cup maybe a bit more....I just add until the other ingredients are pretty much covered but not full to the top... I put this in last!!)

Blend until smooth.  Add more Almond Milk if needed.

I promise that you can't even taste the spinach! It's great as a meal replacement or post workout.  I hope you like it!
