Healthy Shamrock Shake?!

I am just popping in for a quick “hello!” today.

Brian and I have been busy the past couple of days and there is a lot to share, but you will just have to wait until next week to find out about what we have been up to!

Here are some hints:

We sampled delicious food at an Indianapolis restaurant.

We tried our first hot yoga class…and we did it together!

Because I don’t want to leave it all for next week, and it is St. Patrick’s Day Eve I thought I would share a healthy and delicious Shamrock Shake inspired smoothie with you.
