A Delectable Birthday-(Hint: Dessert is Key)

I love birthdays! Maybe I’m an overgrown kid (when they tell me to connect with my inner child, it really isn’t hard), maybe I just like to savor life a little bit extra, or maybe I just like to mark the yearly milestones. Whatever the reason, I really enjoy them. For myself and everybody else.

That said, there have been times when a b-day celebration meant my healthy lifestyle went out the window. And fun as it may have been in the moment, that didn’t make me feel so delectable. This year, I got the birthday of my dreams, and left the weekend feeling bright, vibrant and ready to rock the next year of my life.

Ingredients:

Yoga buddies for practice

Good friend for breakfast

Pedicure

Time to relax and reflect

Awesome husband/family/even more friends

Great wine, with a smidge of moderation

The perfect healthy yet decadent dessert

Dreamy Creamsicle Smoothie

Remember those creamsicles from the ice cream truck? This just as delicious. Maybe even more. But so much gentler on your beautiful bod.

Refreshing in summer’s heat. Perfect for taking to-go, since you don’t have to keep it frozen (just rather cool).  Great as breakfast or garnished with an orange slice and shared for dessert.
