The witching hour...

I call 3:00 PM the witching hour. Nap time is usually coming to the end, it is the home stretch of the day and my exhaustion is reaching a peak. The one thing I want to do is grab some bread and peanut butter and shove it down my throat or even worse...SWEETS! It's terrible, I know! This madness has got to stop or I am going to have to invest in bigger jeans. Thankfully my friend Susan just gave me a quick and easy shake recipe that is satisfying and both Julian and I love it.

I use 1-1/2 cups of Greek Yogurt. Greek Yogurt is SO good for you and has more protein and less sugar than regular yogurt. It also has live, active cultures to support healthy digestion

I use 1-2 TBSP of Agave Nectar-this adds a little bit of sweetness to the shake and it has a lower glycemic index than honey

I added about a cup of 100% pure Coconut Water-My mom swears by this stuff! It is supposedly natures re-hydrant that replaces electrolytes and is higher in potassium than a banana. 

throw in any frozen berries that you like, blend and serve! As we head into the holidays, it's always good to have one snack around that is good for you :)
