KC Juice and Some Groceries

Hello : )

How was your weekend?? Ours was very good. Weekends never last quite long enough though, in my opinion!

As mentioned in my last blog, Erik and I ventured to Kansas City on Saturday and had a great time together. We munched one natural almonds, walnuts and raisins on the way there. I love my best friend and how neat that he's even my husband!! ; ) Upon arriving, we started out by getting smoothies from KC Juice. This place is quickly becoming somewhere we always want to stop while we're there! They're a specialty smoothie store that uses local product and distributors, fresh fruit (no powders), non fat yogurt, and low fat sherbets in their smoothies. Yum!! If you're ever in the Westport area of KC, check them out! Keep up the good work, KC Juice! Here's me with my giant fruity and delicious smoothie and messed up, wind-blown hair, haha.

Since we were near-by, we stopped at a little tiny Whole Foods in the area so I could finally use my Oikos greek yogurt coupons ... hooray!! They only had vanilla and plain so I got two of each. My thoughts = I love greek yogurt so this was definitely not a disappointment. I don't know that I have a favorite brand of greek yogurt, as most of the time we just make it ourselves. If you for some reason have never tried greek yogurt, Oikos is definitely a great place to start! Thanks for the samples, Stoneyfield!Along with stopping at Whole Foods and picking up a few things we found a really neat market that I'm sure we'll be visiting again called Cosentino's Downtown Gourmet Market that we had never been to and picked up a few things there. -Ricemilk (we've never had it before and decided to try it because it was cheaper than almond milk)
-Couple different teas
-Cinnamon
-Ezekiel bread
-Nectar cacao bars (we don't normally buy bars but they were on sale so we thought, why not?)
-Whole wheat pitas (I'm excited about these!)

For part of my dinner last night, I had a half of a pita with chicken, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes and an original light laughing cow inside and it was VERY tasty (though I had a hard time fitting everything in it, haha!) I hope your week is off to a wonderful start! The weather here this week is only supposed to get better and I'm pretty excited about that! : )

Stay tuned for my next post about fitness and how to get motivated!
