*Disclaimer – This recipe was originally published in 2011. I’m working hard to update all my older recipes with recipe cards, new photos, and additional recipe information. But, getting to all of them will take time. Please bear with me. In the meantime let me assure you that this recipe is still a winner and one I’m sure you’ll be well pleased with when you make it at home.

The good news: In October, I’m coming up on my two-year anniversary of having quit smoking.  The bad news: I packed on pretty much additional weight in the process. 

We’ve all heard the saying “pick your battles” and that’s exactly what I did.  The quitting smoking battle was, and has been, a long hard fight!  I came out of it a bit battered and bruised but still stronger in so many ways.

Now it’s time for me to wage another battle of epic proportions… The battle of the bulge! 

I know it won’t happen overnight and that I’m probably looking at many, many months before I reach my goal, but it’s a journey I’m now ready to take. 

On July 5th, I officially started my healthy eating and smaller portions plan. 

I’m also incorporating plenty of water and exercise as a part of my daily routine. 

Good thing for me, I love my fruits and veggies and always have. Now skipping breakfast is NOT an option. Here’s a good breakfast that will pack in all sorts of delicious fruits and get your day started off in a wonderfully nutritious direction:

The easy instructions;

• In a blender, add red seedless grapes, pineapple chunks, watermelon chunks and approximately 3/4 cup of almond milk..
• Blend until smooth. 
• Enjoy!

Now let’s see if I can attack this portion control thing and kick it in the butt!  I’m off for a little cardio…

Enjoy your day!
