How to Live Adventurously with Greek Gods® Greek-Style Yogurt

This post is sponsored by Greek Gods but the content and opinions expressed here are my own.

Social media may make it seem like people are living these crazy adventurous lives, and while it may be the case for some, the truth is that my day to day probably looks a lot like yours. I’m usually working, lounging in my pj’s, binging netflix, or running errands. However, I do make an extra effort to add adventure and excitement to my life, whenever I can. Adding adventure to your life is easy. It’s all about your perspective. It doesn’t take traveling halfway across the world to have fun, it just takes a little effort and time.

Before setting out on any “trip”, I like to start my day out with a delicious and filling protein smoothie. So today, I thought I’d share my go-to recipe, with Greek Gods® Greek-Style Yogurt, along with a few ways you can add some extra adventure to your own life!

Greek Gods® Greek-Style Yogurt is seriously creamy and delicious, without the traditional tartness of other greek yogurts. It’s naturally sweetened with honey, and comes in a variety of flavors, so there’s sure to be something for everyone! Plus, it’s an excellent source of calcium and contains “live and active cultures”. You can find it at your local Walmart, in the yogurt and dairy aisle!

Day Trip Adventure

One of my favorite ways to feel like I’m traveling without ever leaving my home state, is by taking a day trip. I like to research places near me, that I have never visited before, pack up my car, and go exploring! Be sure to pack a lunch and your camera!

Ingredients

• Greek Gods® Greek-Style Yogurt

• Almond Butter

• Protein Powder (I prefer chocolate flavored)

• Frozen Banana

• Chia Seeds

• Ice

• Coconut Milk (or your favorite liquid for smoothie making)

Directions:

In a blender, combine the above ingredients. I also like to add spinach, when I have it, for some added nutrients! For best results, stack the ingredients in this order—spinach, banana, almond butter, Greek Gods® Greek-Style Yogurt, protein powder, ice, and add your liquids last. I usually do half coconut milk and half water. Blend until smooth and creamy, then top the smoothie off with chia seeds, stir them into the cup, and let them sit for a minute or two before drinking.

Be A Tourist In Your Own Town

Many people dream of visiting some far off place, but neglect the beauty of their own hometown. So taking some time to learn about where you live, visiting your local visitor centers, historic sites, and museums is a great way to feel like you’re adventuring without going very far.

Try Something New

Whether it’s the new restaurant that opened up, a temporary exhibit at the local art gallery, or walking to town instead of driving, there are a ton of ways that you can mix things up to add a bit of fun to your daily life.

Pick Up A New Hobby

When traveling, I always end up trying some new activity I’ve never tried before. Whether it’s snorkeling, paragliding, or sailing. But that shouldn’t stop me from trying new things in the comfort of my own backyard! So pick up a new hobby, whether it’s painting or sky diving, and you’ll feel that same rush of excitement as you would while traveling.

Bring the World to You

Who says you have to fly across the world to learn about and experience a new culture? One of my family’s favorite ways to bring the world to us, is by researching a specific country, then visiting a local restaurant that embraces that specific country. It’s a fun and easy way to feel like you’ve stepped outside your own day to day life, for a bit!

I hope this post inspired you to get outside your comfort zone a little, or plan your next adventure! Exciting lives come in all shapes and sizes, so don’t let a lack of travel keep you from living your best life!

Also, be sure to grab some Greek Gods® Greek-Style Yogurt from your local Walmart, and try it in your next morning smoothie, bowl of granola, or fruit plate!
