I've Moved My Blog!

I've realized that working with Wordpress is much more suitable for me, so I've been working on changing everything over. Please check it out at Bohochiccafe.wordpress.com and be sure to follow me there! Thanks!

Chai Tea Lattes and a Trend-Setter

This past weekend I visited family in my home town, Chapel Hill, NC (go Heels)! The weather was beautiful - blue skies, sunshine, and warm weather compared to the terrible winter we're experiencing in DC at the moment. We enjoyed the weather (and 3-day weekend) by running the 4 mile trail by my house!

 

 

It was a perfect weekend - I didn't want to leave! Before having to make my way back up to DC again, we stopped by my favorite local coffee shop, Joe Van Gogh. I ordered my usual - what I call the best Chai Tea Latte in the world. For any of you Chai Tea addicts, I have yet to try a better one!

Fashion time! Rosie Huntington-Whitley is not only a stunning, but she has a fabulous taste in fashion. She's always edgy and effortless. Of course she's a model and literally wear a paper bag, but I can't help turning to her for style tips.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie

I love sweets. In particular, chocolate. Rather than cut out the thing I love most, I embrace it and have a little something every day. If you eat well (sticking to fruit, veggies, lean protein and fish), it's not healthy to deprive yourself. Everything in moderation! Lately I've been seeing a lot of delicious healthy smoothie recipes. I've created three of my own so far - they're so addicting!

One of the three I made is a delicious Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie. I mixed Silk light chocolate almond milk (found at almost every grocery store), plain non-fat greek yogurt, ice, powdered peanut butter which I mentioned in my last entry, and cocoa powder in a blender. At just 165 calories, it's filled with protein and fiber. If you don't have powdered peanut butter (substituting for regular), the smoothie is approximately 300 calories - still healthy and balanced.

I love the idea of smoothies, especially on days you're not hungry for a full meal, or if you need a post-workout afternoon boost.

1/2 Cup Silk Light Chocolate Milk
1/2 Cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/2 Cup Ice
2 Tbs Powdered Peanut Butter
1 Tbs Cocoa Powder

The best part? There are only five ingredients. It's a quick and easy way to eat well on the go!

Have a happy and healthy Friday - and three day weekend for most!
