Our next finalist in the Juggling Real Food and Real Life Smoothie Competition is Nicky from Little Family Adventure.  Nicky is my Real Food sister.  Her blog is full of lots of great Real Food recipes.  You are in for quite an adventure each time you visit her blog.  I encourage you to visit her blog and stay a while.  You will soon discover what a great friend Nicky is.  Another fun fact about Nicky………..She is trying to talk me into running so we can encourage each other in a joint fitness goal.  She has almost got me talked into it.  Almost.Here is Nicky………… 
 
 

Hi! My name is Nicky. You could say that I love to cook. Well actually, I love to eat. When I got married, 17 years ago, I couldn’t boil water. Over the years, I was the master of take out, one pot wonders, anything in a box, simple and fast meals, and then more sophisticated foods. With five people in our house, ravenous appetites would easily deplete our bank accounts, if we went out to eat every night. So, I’ve learned to cook a wide variety of food. We are always trying new things, and I hope to share many of those with you on my blog.


My husband served 20 years in the US military. We have lived on both the east and west coasts, as well as a few places in between. You can usually find me gardening, reading, cooking, or planning our next vacation or trip. We love to travel and expose our children to different places and people. We home school our three children and love the opportunities it affords us. We live by the motto “Sometimes the best things in life are the most unexpected”. For us, the fun is in the journey.

This is an easy frozen, non-dairy smoothie recipe. I remember having a Wendy’s Frostie as a kid. This reminds me of it. Frozen bananas work best, but you can use fresh ones instead. Adjust the ice to get the consistency you like.

Now it’s your turn………..leave your comments below and cast your vote for Nicky’s Banana Chocolate Frostie.  Do you like a little chocolate in your day or are you a straight-up fruit smoothie person?  Did you know healthy could taste so good?  Would you eat this for breakfast or save it for a treat? Leave us a comment and let’s get the conversation going.  We would love to have you join our Juggling Real Food and Real Life Facebook Community group.  Click here to join us.

    So are you ready to run yet Christina? It will be fun…. :)Did I mention the only reason I'm considering running is so I can run a Disney race in costume. It would be such a FUN girls weekend.

    Well I did it girl! I started tonight with the app you are using. It is pretty darn awesome. I was able to do it. Good nutrition is making me think I can exercise too. Wow! Who knew? My 8 year old daughter went too. She wants to wear the Disney costume.

13 years ago, I hit publish on my very first blog post. Back then, my kids were still young, and I was deep in the “mom life” of packing lunches, rushing to practices, and trying to figure out how to keep real food on the table without losing my mind. 🍎🥦

Fast forward to today, and here I am—a grandmother! 👵💖 Life looks a little different now, but the heart of this community hasn’t changed. It’s still about juggling the busyness of life, making space for the people we love, and finding joy in real food (and real moments).

I never imagined that this little corner of the internet would become such a special part of my life for over a decade. Thank you for being here—whether you’ve been with me since the beginning or just found me recently. You are the reason this space is still going strong. 💕

Here’s to 13 years of memories, lessons, recipes, and laughter… and to many more ahead! 🥂

Drop me a comment and tell me how long you’ve been hanging out here—I’d love to know!
Just a little reminder for your day… you really Just a little reminder for your day… you really are amazing! 💚 Keep juggling life, real food, and all the little moments that make you, YOU.
