Whew! What a weekend! My husband and I haven’t had a night away from the kids for 16 months (not that I was keeping track or anything) so we shipped them off to Grandma and Grandpa’s for a sleepover and we had a much-needed staycation! It was awesome. We slept in, we went out for breakfast to The Tallest Poppy (a hip little diner in West Broadway…we stood out like a sore thumb), we shopped, we strolled, and we talked without interruption. We got all dressed up and went out for a fancy-schmancy dinner at Hy’s (a high-end steakhouse in Canada) and ate fresh oysters and filet mignon cooked in gobs of butter.

And then we came home, changed into shorts and flip-flops (much more our style), went to a late movie, and ate a bucket of movie theatre popcorn drenched in butter, inhaled a bag of gummy candy, and drank diet coke (I know. That stuff is just terrible. Please don’t judge me).

We had so much fun and enjoyed every quiet moment, but we’re both feeling the need to get back to our regular healthy eating habits after a weekend of treats. So this morning I’m hitting the ‘reset’ button and enjoying this Green Apple Spinach Smoothie for breakfast! It’s green, it’s healthy and it’s the perfect breakfast to start the week off on a healthy note!

And you don’t just have to enjoy this delicious Green Apple Spinach Smoothie for breakfast – it’s often our favourite afternoon snack to enjoy, and it’s great for busy days when we’re on the go!
