I haven’t tried it, but you could try frozen cauliflower or avocado to sub the banana. That will add the creaminess the banana would add to the smoothie, but bananas do add a hint of sweetness so you might want to add a date or another type of sweetener if you want a touch of sweetness. Let me know if you do try this smoothie and how it turns out!
Hi there, I’m new to your blog and site. Firstly, congratulations on your engagement and secondly, I made this smoothie for breakfast and I.AM.FULL! So tasty! Thanks for sharing.
I just got married last year and budget was a HUGE concern for us when we first made plans. Setting a date was the first order of business – but without a budget it was hard to do. I got the nerve up to talk to my father. With his help we could get married sooner, without we would have to plan for a full year, if not more and save for our big day. And make it much more intimate.
Your biggest splurges will be on food and drink – you want to keep your guests fed and happy. The other biggest money item is venue, usually.
My father ended up helping/paying for mostly everything. There were a few items we didn’t feel fit for him to have to pay for and took that upon ourselves.
My best bit of advice is shop around, follow your gut and stick to that budget. The day goes SO quickly and often times little things you thought were SO important get lost in the shuffle. Stick to the most important things on your list, things you’re passionate about and let that be your guide.
As far as DIY check out pinterest.com it was a life saver for ideas and I printed out a ton of items from that for my planning binder. I had it all organized dresses, flowers, concepts, themes. It helps to be organized and while you plan you’ll find your way. I was SO up in the air. I was never a girl that dreamed about her wedding day and planned it since age 5… I was flying by the seat of my pants and it was a wonderful day.
Trust me … you might change your mind 20 million times but in the end the most important part of the day is the wedding, the union, and the party with your family and friends. Everything else falls into place.
Congrats again and I cant’ wait to hear about all your plans. We got married in October and I’m just NOW writing my recaps!!! hehe
I didn’t get to comment on your previous posts (I was at work) but I am SO SO excited for you guys! I only wish I lived closer…I would make your cake. Thank you for sharing your joy and your delicious smoothie with me! From first word to last, I was glad I visited you and your site today. I hope this finds you happy and well. Congratulations and much love.
P.S. We had same wedding problem (just married in Sept.). I once had a gal tell me our wedding budget was actually the drink budget ( I live in So Cal). Anyways, once we decided to have the wedding in my mom’s backyard in upstate NY everything really came together. It ended up being so beautiful and such an amazing day, way more than I ever imagined. Some pics are on the site as well. Congrats and Good Luck- it will work out!!
The average cost of weddings was a shocker to me too! I just got engaged in December 🙂 I’m sharing the expense with my parents, but as a college senior with 2 younger siblings also in college, the budget is SUPER tight. However, I am hoping to launch a career in wedding planning myself and had a really great internship this summer with a successful wedding planner who really knew her stuff.
The one thing I’m really focusing on to keep costs down is using my resources! You might be surprised to find out how many family friends, co-workers, neighbors, etc. have some type of vendor experience and will be able to give you a good deal. Also asking friends or acquaintances who got married in your area what vendors they used. We’ve already got a florist through our church, and are getting a TON of great tips from friends who used caterers, photographers, etc. that are nearby. Also, I would totally recommend printing your own savethedates, invites, programs, and thank yous. It will save you hundreds 🙂 (weddingchicks.com is great site for that) good luck with your planning!
That smoothie looks and sounds amazing – a definite must try.
I am not engaged…yet…but i constantly browse http://www.pinterest.com for creative ideas for anything – especially weddings! Careful – pinterest is addicting if you are not already aware 🙂
Congratulations, Brittany!
We’re all very excited for you and “Mr.Isaac” 🙂
If you don’t mind a little chaos, J.Crew’s warehouse sale (going on now in the Far West End) has LOTS of dresses…bridal, bridesmaids, and a few flower girl dresses, too. The wedding gowns are only $50!
Thank you for the congrats Amanda! We’re super excited as well. And, thank you for the tip about the warehouse sale. I haven’t been this year but I was wondering if they had wedding dresses because I went to the sale with a friend last year and she found her wedding dress!! I better check it out. 🙂
I loved my wedding day. I got married 8 years ago when there weren’t any blogs about weddings so I mostly got my inspiration from a ton of magazines. Although I loved my wedding, if I had to do it over, I might do something like John and Sherry at younghouselove.com. They have a ton of great ideas and spent about 1/6 of what I did.
Good luck! Try not to feel overwhelmed and enjoy every bit of the planning!!!
Here are some wedding tips that I either used or have heard of – hope they help!
-Flowers are expensive!! We used glass plates from the dollar store and homemade cookies and candies for the table centerpieces (we had a candle in the middle, but some places don’t allow them). Our guest ate our decorations and minimized clean up!
-Skip the favors all together! People don’t come to your wedding to get gifts (i hope 🙂 ) We ordered a too-big cake and served out “to go” boxes of cake for people to take home.
-I have heard that if you say you are planning an “event” instead of a “wedding” the prices are cheaper. This would apply to rentals of tables, linens, etc.
-Get a good photographer. We went cheap on ours and regretted it.
Hi Brittnay – Just wanted to send you a quick note and let you know I made the Cinnamon Oatmeal Cookie Smoothie for breakfast this morning…it was delicious! I added ground flax seed and chia seeds! Every morning I have my Peanut Butter Chocolate Smoothie (thanks to Julie at PB Fingers) and I can never convince myself to try anything else because I love the PB/Chocolate combo, but I am glad I did! Now, I can’t wait for breakfast tomorrow! Thanks for the recipe!
hi brittany! food and drink is super expensive BUT if you can find someone who’s really wanting to get into the catering business and want good practice that is a GREAT way to go because they can work WITH you to plan a menu and then you can pay for the food and they’ll go for fairly cheap on the labor since they need the practice! also…you’re smoothies always look AWESOME! happy tuesday! – jasper
Congrats on the engagement. I had the same apprehension when I started planning for my wedding a couple of years ago. The reception costs can be really scary! I know that some venues offer discounted rates for receptions on Friday evenings/Sunday afternoon. Have fun planning!
Yum! This sounds delicious (and I think I already have everything I need at home)!
A few wedding tips (although mine was 10 years ago – eek!) that came to mind when I read your post and some of the comments:
– Pick what 1 or 2 things are most important to you and use your funds there. There are so many other details that you won’t even remember!
– Look for a venue that is “self decorated” so you don’t feel that you have to spend on decorations. We had ours at an historic B&B that was already decorated with antiques and flowers. All we did was throw some rose buds (from Sam’s Club) in little fishbowl vases on the tables and we were done! We had friends do something similar at a local art gallery.
– Ask if your venue works particularly closely with a caterer or baker. Ours recommended a baker and because they worked so closely together, the venue let the baker use their cake hardware for our cake so we didn’t have to buy the hardware (which we would have never used again!).
– Don’t be shy about using flowers for double duty – we used our alter pieces for the food table at our reception.
– Depending on your personality, a videographer might not be a must-have. I can tell you we have watched our video exactly 1 time since we were married. Thank goodness my husband’s uncle was the one who did the video (for free)!
– Seriously, don’t spend too much on favors!
– When you’re looking at your special clothes for your special day, remember how long you’ll be standing – comfortable shoes are invaluable.
– If you have a friend who is a photographer and perhaps trying to make a name for herself, you might ask if she would do the photos as her gift to you. A great way for her to build her portfolio and she’s off the hook for a present. One of my best friends did this and it worked perfectly for her and her photographer friend!
also, don’t be afraid to borrow…I borrowed my slip and bra from a good friend. I also borrowed my veil….it was a veil that i picked out when my matron on honor got married, so kind of cool that she let me borrow it. That there was a huge savings

Ahh yay!! So glad you enjoyed this smoothie, Danielle. Thanks for making it and for coming back to leave a comment + star rating. I appreciate it.
I do NOT like bananas. Can I substitute anything else for the banana in the cinnamon oatmeal cookie smoothie??? thanks!
I haven’t tried it, but you could try frozen cauliflower or avocado to sub the banana. That will add the creaminess the banana would add to the smoothie, but bananas do add a hint of sweetness so you might want to add a date or another type of sweetener if you want a touch of sweetness. Let me know if you do try this smoothie and how it turns out!
When you mentioned vanilla in the recipe? Do you mean vanilla extract?
Yes! I’ll make note of that in the post. Sorry for the confusion!
I tried the lean arms this morning… Wow! I feel great! Lean legs tomorrow!
mmm that smoothie looks great!! 😀

I love that arm workout! I’ve had to cut out the tummy tucks because of my preggo belly but everything else still burns – and it is fast!

Those pyramid workouts look great! I’m on the lookout for some new ideas!!
Great recipe… Has a touch of Christmas flavor to it.

Thank you for all of these tips Victoria. I’m definitely going to try to put some of them to use. 🙂
This recipe sounds fabulous..I love the Tone It Up team!! Planning to do the Lean Legs Pyramid later today!
